That contradicts much of what I've heard about both the specific FRC tools we are told to expect (e.g. DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATED!) and the general style of LabView programming I learned a couple of years ago (e.g. "open" a resource and pass the resulting pointer along to everything else that uses it, remembering to "close" it when finished).

I look forward with a mix of anticipation and dread to actually having this stuff in front of me to work with. My optimistic expectation is that I'll quickly realize what simple concept is keeping me from completely understanding what I'm reading, and that I'll finally "get it". (My nagging fear is that I'm a programming dinosaur, stuck in a procedural tar pit and doomed to extinction as the dataflow mammals take over.)
