The largest constraint on this (in the context of the FIRST competition) is that community matters at least as much as technology. If you're using Java (or C++ or LabVIEW, to a lesser extent), you at least have a hope of posting to a forum and going "Hey, we think our robot should be doing X and it's doing Y, here's our code, any insights?" If you use <bespoke language X> and your own custom bindings, you're on your own.
