This is a presentation I gave to about 40 Certified LabVIEW Architects<\/a> back in March 2010\u00a0at the\u00a0CLA Summit in Austin, TX.\u00a0 It presents some ideas on ways in which exception handling error techniques that are used in C++ and Java could be incorporated into LabVIEW by National Instruments, and the benefits of these techniques over the error handling techniques currently supported by LabVIEW.\u00a0 The general feedback I got from talking with people after the presentation was that it was very insightful but would require years of development and test within National Instruments and then years more before the user community would begin to adopt it.\u00a0 Therefore, National Instruments has to seriously question the Return on Investment of such an enhancement.\u00a0 Is this a feature request that is likely to generate profit?\u00a0 Probably not in this decade, I’ll admit to that.\u00a0 But I think in the long run, I think graphical programming is going to need<\/em> to incorporate something like this to be considered a serious contender to traditional text based languages.<\/p>\n
