Is this specific to Labview or are you suggesting that even teams using Eclipse / etc and programming in C will see this kind of compile time?
IF that is the case, and C will take that long to compile for these applications, it may render it completely unusable if you have to do something that requires multiple compiles, like tuning a PID loop, unless you get more fancy and create the ability to adjust the constants with a pot / buttons etc.

VHDL is a hardware description language which is compiled differently than a traditional programming language. Instead of compiling down to machine code it compiles down to the logic level to be burned into a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).
