Someone else brought this issue up with me over PM. I didn't intend for my statement to sound like LabVIEW is REPLACING C (or any other language for that matter), but in the industry of data acquisition (which is a major part of the robotics industry), NI and LabVIEW is a leading technology. My point wasn't that LabVIEW beats out C or any other language, but that LabVIEW isn't some simpleton's tool. LabVIEW has awesome potential to do many things, and because it's so widely used, it's not 'worthless'.
I'm sorry if I made it sound like LabVIEW replaces any language in the global job market; what I intended to say was that for it's field (data acquisition), it is a leader, and in many ways, can be superior.
Sorry for the confusion,
Jacob
In the end the important thing is that the rookie members who make up the majority of our team were inspired and will try much harder next year. :) - aeniug2 [more]
