I think -- I hope -- that you're confusing LabVIEW with EasyC.

If you're comparing programming languages to vehicles, with C++ as a high-speed sports car, LabVIEW might be more like a helicopter. It's an entirely different kind of programming from a procedural language like C++ or Java, but it's just as powerful.

Actually, I'm inclined to liken C to a 1940's-era Jeep, designed to be small and nimble and capable of going off-road...but completely devoid of niceties like airbags and anti-lock brakes. :-P
