Re: Curiosity on why most teams choose LabView
Yes, Labview is a programming language by any standard. You have inputs and outputs, can implement general algorithms and data structures, etc. It's great for state machines, for example.

For the curious (see thread title) one reason we chose Labview is that we did believe it would provide general programming experience relevant to any programming language. Isn't this more important for children than cultivating specialized skills in a particular language?
