LabVIEW was eerily satisfying to write code in. Or at least some type of code in. Loops and logic blocks got a tiny bit weird, but overall you could do a lot with sub-vis.

I find myself craving it even 15 years later.


LabVIEW gets really weird once you get to things like loops or, even worse, threading. You will start craving some good old fashioned code very quickly.

I haven't seen any kind of visual coding environment that didn't fall apart quickly once you got to more complex scenarios.
