But have you ever actually tried to implement anything complex in LabVIEW? I have (didn't have a choice due to environment limitations) and the resulting monstrosity was not only slow, but impossible to refactor or maintain.
I ended up rewriting key components in C# just to speed it up and make maintenance bearable.
i have. everything i have done in labview has been on major, complex projects that have all exceeded 1,000 VIs. speed has never been a limitation for me other than UI updates, but that is true in most languages. and in that case it was because of a huge amount of data being streamed to the UI.
