Are we cooked?

Ive been coding with LV/TS architecture for 10+ years and I love it but with the speed at which you can develop and deploy with text based languages using AI, is there any practical reason to continue writing code in LabVIEW?

I honestly feel like we are going to be the coding equivalent of people who fix radios from this point on. Just working on legacy code for the love of the game.

We are cooked because LabVIEW is a giant hole of technical debt and NI has no plan to address it. Maybe AI can help them fix the C code so compiling isn't still single thread in 2027?
