Pros and cons of using Labview?

[tahmid0517]

Hi there. I'm not a programmer and my team doesn't have the strongest of programming teams. There's one programmer who did all our programming this year and he's going to be graduating this year. There's 2 guys left on our programming team, but they're not as dedicated or as experienced as the guy who's graduating. Our team currently uses Java and our programmers are the only ones who know how to program in Java. I was wondering if switching to Labview next year might be a good idea since it seems like it 's a good fit for people with little to no programming experience. For all of you that have experience with Labview, what are the pros and cons are of using Labview. And is it a language that's meant more for inexperienced teams or do successful and experienced teams use it as well ?

If we wanted to get more people on the programming team who have no programming experience, would Labview be a good idea? Next year, only 2 of our members will know Java and next year will be their last year. Or would it be easier for new programmers to just learn Java.
