Absolutely - I was as digusted as you are at Jim's pathetic attempt to push innocent LAVA members toward his book! Maybe he was the original blog author too?

And, thank you for the extra coverage Concidering how LTR fell by the wayside and was replaced by LAVA, and other on-line forums, it appears that it is printed media that is becoming irrelevant .

Agreed about popularity, and that is even more true about basing a language's supposed relevance on book sales. Considering how much emphasis is placed on quality control, testing, 6 sigma, etc, today, everything manuafactured is or will be tested to meet regulations and standards for safety, quality, etc. Many of us fly on jetliners regularly, whose components and systems are tested adn certified with LabVIEW, same for our cars, cell phones, the computers we are looking at now, the network components linking us on LAVA, the optical fiber, etc, etc. I'd say LabVIEW indirectly touches the lives of most people in the Western world almost every day in a positive way. My current project is fuel cell research and testing, which might be relevant to an internationally debated topic or two.  I know lots of others here and in the larger LabVIEW community can state the same with their current and recent projects. LabVIEW Irrelevant?

Well, I wouldn't call OCAML irrelevant or LaTeX "minor" either...
