I've never hated a programming language until I met LabVIEW.
In all honesty, the reply about LabVIEW is absolutely correct. Even PHP doesn't compare to the monstrosity that is LabVIEW. The FIRST robotics competition promotes using C++ or LabVIEW to create your robot code. And I have to say, programming by connecting squares together didn't feel like programming at all. It felt like I was being infantilized. The "source code" just becomes a whole mess of boxes and lines overlapping each other and just drives you nuts trying to understand how the program works.
Even though higher level programming languages are supposed to abstract the difficult parts away from you, LabVIEW abstracts you to the point that it's a whole new level of complexity, which completely defeats the purpose of it being abstract.
