Programming Advice for Newer FRC Team?

[howellrobotics]

Hello,

We are a newer FRC team (Ultimate Ascent was our first season) and we are currently trying to decide what programming language to use for next season, so that we can begin training students. We used LabVIEW last year and had some issues with it, although these were likely due to our being rookies, and are considering changing to C++ or Java. We have access to good resources for all three languages, so mentorship is not a problem. What languages do your teams teams use and why? Pros & cons? Any and all advice or input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
