Cross-platform alternative to LabVIEW

[James_W]

Apart from LabVIEW the only cross platform language that I've seen anyone ever reach for was Xamarin when a fast POC had to be done by some developers on IOS and Andriod at the same time with the possibility of needing a desktop app to go alongside on IOS and windows later. (If I'm remembering the project correctly) - but even for highly experienced C# developers that was a steep learning / re-learning curve in the timeframe of the short project.

If your code is too closely coupled at the moment I'd work on reducing the coupling in the short term whilst you look to what the best solution language-wise is for migration in the long term, it may be that packaging quite a bit of the LV code as DLLs will allow you to move to another language faster than re-writing everything from scratch.

NET MAUI is the successor of Xamarin

Not sure if it's easier...

Now the acronym fun begins when you are dealing with .NET MAUI to control LeCroy MAUI:

Well I've learned something new today.
My daughter has previously taught me that Maui is a Disney character who has a hook and now I find it's programming language.
Mind you, I also used to think that Xamarin sounded like some sort of small monkey from the South America though - so it's always good to learn.
