Just curious, what makes you think LabVIEW is worthless? It's the industry standard, and time-wise, can be much more efficient than C. Also, LabVIEW can provide simple ways of doing things that would be much more difficult to do in C. C is old and very basic, while LabVIEW is new and very complex. I don't think that judging it as 'worthless' without even using it is a very wise decision.

Also, while C will be supported now, I believe that in the near future, LabVIEW will be the preferred language, and perhaps even C support could be dropped in the long run. LabVIEW, in many ways, is a more practical programming education for students entering the workforce. I wouldn't be so set in your ways (imho).

Happy Coding!
