If what you mean by "scripting language" matches the common usage of the term, then you are mistaken. Scripting languages are usually intended to be procedural ways to control a program that would otherwise require user input. While LabVIEW can be coerced into doing procedural actions, it really "wants" to do things in a strict dataflow fashion.

Also, LabVIEW is a graphical language, not a text-based language with a GUI on top of it.
