This is only true for the the LabView environment.


If working in the C/C++ environment, I'm not sure how you wouldn't end up working with the OS since you need to at least create tasks and schedule them... I seriously doubt the WPILIB will package up the necessary routines to create/schedule/prioritize kernel tasks, do data stream logging i/o, etc. which is already available within the OS API. The duplication effort would not seem to add value -- but anything is possible.
