I maintain "regular computer applications" that were written in LabVIEW. They run on a generic Windows computer.

The LabVIEW Dashboard is a "regular computer application" that doesn't require National Instruments hardware in order to run.

I don't have the spare time to spend on writing games, but I don't see any reason I couldn't do it using LabVIEW.



I do not dispute that C++ and Java can be more "portable" and more "general purpose". But you're making unfair statements about LabVIEW that aren't really helping the discussion.
