Hello James - This <a href="http://ni.com/labview/switch";>webpage </a> offers a number of white papers and other technical documents concerning LabVIEW as a programming language. A few articles exist discussing how LabVIEW compiles code. There is also a great paper on how LabVIEW can increase your company's productivity.
I hope this helps you make your case! Have a great day! Becky B. Applications Engineer National Instruments
