Yes, the cool thing about LV is allows you to turn an idea on a flow chart into code that resembles the original chart on the high level. And, nothing beats it for data acquisition and testing. Like all visual languages big projects and the finer implementation details can get ugly.

Most people focus in LV's visual programming paradigm. But I think its real power come from the Flow Based Programming model. Functional programming is the trendy solution to the problem of concurrency these days. But I think FBP could offer some solutions in this domain too. NoFlo looks a promising new technology in this area. http://noflojs.org/
