pros to java is that everybody already knows it, so no learning curve, global classes (aka "subsystems") are easier to use, most of the better teams use it, and it is easier to read, cons are that vision processing is fairly hard

I saw some job openings at SpaceX where they listed LabVIEW as a required skill. One of their representatives at their company booth at worlds also told me that They use it extensively for for testing and their custom control system.
