Re: Java vs Labview
Just a couple of thoughts from the LabVIEW developer. I have been using LabVIEW for 13 years now and it is the main language that I program in.
It is used in the "real world." Mostly for test equipment automation, motion control, and data acquisition. I have used it for simple windows apps, to real time applications (like what is run on the roboRIO), to FPGA based applications.
LabVIEW does use data flow but also has object oriented capabilities. I would check out LabVIEW classes to learn more about this. NI even offers up examples of this that ship with LabVIEW as well as template frameworks such as the actor framework that you can reference.
I am just putting this info out there so people are aware of some of the capabilities it has that may not be known.
