I worked with LabView enough to have an opinion, I think. The issue is that it isn't actually any easier or faster. The machine still needs to do the same synchronizations and cache invalidations. The engineer becomes very limited in what they can effectively do (recursive structures? They become like {} in Go, performance nightmares). Labview is very effective in its niche, factory monitoring and automation, but I found beyond that it was a pain and a half.

> Labview is very effective in its niche, factory monitoring and automation, but I found beyond that it was a pain and a half. I’ve never used Labview but it’s worth pointing out that it’s only one possible implementation, just like we have many different takes on other paradigms. I’ve heard people say that labviews specific design is somewhat flawed, but I can’t comment on that since I’ve not used it myself.
