I've been thinking a lot about this, since I have needed to use LabView at my job the past few years. While I hate labview for the sake of writing applications that need to be continuously refactored and scaled, it's immensely useful for non-programmers to create a working program quickly. So far I've been wondering if a graphical interface a la labview could work if it translated down into say, erlang code. It all depends highly on who the target audience is...a test engineer, or someone wanting an easier way to write scalable distributed applications. If the latter, I'd expect the interface to be a very well thought out interface that lets you effortlessly flow between drilling down into functions and seeing the greater view of all the code in your application.
