A few years ago, I had to help our EEs write some testing software in LabVIEW. The first thing that shocked me was the system was immune to bad data. Secondly, how elegantly it utilized multiprocessing and multithreading hardware.
I wish researchers would work on graphical, signal-based, synchronous languages like this. LabVIEW gracefully solves some of the biggest issues with functional and object oriented languages. Why hasn't more work been done in this area?
Check out also the original FBP the article refers to. It seems they had a lot of success with it on the server side of enterprise. seems like it could be ideal for web back end stuff

Has anyone else had a similar experience?
