In general, all calls to do I/O and vision are neutral since the vision code is just a wrapper around native binary code, and the I/O is wrapped around the FPGA which is programmed in LV by the way. Differences will start to show up when/if most of the code being executed is written by you or your team. If you decide to get the pixels from an image and index through them looking for patterns, you'll notice a difference between the compiled and bytecode languages. Still, I think you'll find that reasonably written code will run just fine in any of the languages. So yes, it is a matter of preference, experience, and goals.

Alright, thank you. That cleared things up for me. Our mentor and I will probably run some individual tests anyway.
