Re: LabView/C++ equally capable?

I think this is part of it, too. There is something about engineers that makes us inherently suspicious of black boxes. Sometimes this is a good thing, but it also means that we can be stubborn to accept a good off the shelf solution to a problem. Case in point, you wouldn't believe the number of times a subcontractor on a software project has supplied me with their own implementation of a C++ "vector" class. And as much as I trust that my subs are competent, the odds of them writing a bug-free vector class faster than the Standard Template Library's implementation are very slim.

I believe that in many cases, it already has. Our students learn C++ from experienced programming mentors who know C++. I generally encourage rookie teams to use C++ because if they have a problem, I will know how to help.
