I don't know why but I'm always tickled when someone comes up with yet another data-oriented / flow diagram programming language like NI LabView. And my first thought is always "this will break down exactly like LabView and for the same reasons." Someone will inevitably come up with a use case that is just a little too complicated but without any mechanism to go from data flow to program code there are going to be some really painful migrations.
There wasn’t a single day i used labview that I did not wish it was a simpler CLI or text file based program. Heck, even an imperative text based programming language would have been fine.
And Labview was one of the best Visual programming tools I’ve used and possibly in existence.
