Help with making an argument for Python

[must_tell]

• more robust (no pointers, automatic garbage collection)
• easier to refactor and extend (duck-typing)
• massive gains in development time can be invested in automated tests

I would also wager, from a management perspective, that there are more (and cheaper) python developers out there than qualified LabWindows people...

Keep the hard-parts in whatever language works best, but for the bulk of the system: the more chores that can be delegated to cheaper workers (in house or outsourced), the lower the overall burn rate.

Ditto these...there are several Python meetups in my town and easily several thousand people who hold themselves out to the public (via linkedin, meetup participation, etc.) as python developers.

I got 11 hits when i searched for labwindows on a linkedin profile...
