On the other hand, it might actually be more fun to go with a less comfortable choice from the beginning. Don't just consider what you already know; think about how easy it will be for people who don't know anything yet.

The reasons might seem good, but they probably aren't great.

Among other things, keep in mind that LabVIEW tends to be slightly better supported by the makers of the cRIO, and that using it is presently the only official way to write your own Dashboard program.
