"G" (G Dataflow) is a proprietary dataflow programming language owned by National Instruments and used in LabVIEW.

G versus LabVIEW

Strictly speaking LabVIEW is the development environment, while "G" is the source code produced in LabVIEW. However, due to the fact that LabVIEW is the only environment supporting "G" as a programming language, the source code is often called LabVIEW code rather than "G" code ^[1].

-G is the "native" language of LabVIEW. Some arguments might be made as to whether LabVIEW code should instead be called G source code. Let it therefore be said that strictly speaking LabVIEW is the development environment, while G is the code produced under the LabVIEW system. Let it also be added that the graphical language G cannot be re-interpreted into a text based language. You cannot pop the hood on LabVIEW generated code and see the underlying text code, because there is none! Thus G remains the underlying source code that LabVIEW developers work with.
