Just creating a toggle variable (need a 1 and then 0 to do a ~) in C is a few simple lines, just try it in Labview it is a mess.

Heh not my original intention, but I do understand what you mean. Changing programming paradigms can be an unsettling undertaking. Any language that can automatically implement parallelism without me having to do anything gets some nice remarks in my book though. The overall theme is you trade detailed control for prebuild high-level functionality; same transform that's been going on since compilers were first invented. To each his/her own. Good luck with your learning.
