[triangle-zpug] UML + AXG -- Re: Plone Jam 3/20/08

[Josh Johnson]

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say that model driven development is 
falling out of favor (least in my case), it's more like model-driven 
_code generation_ is turning out to be a real pipe dream.

To put it differently: I still think I'm in love with UML, I just don't 
want to have code babies with it.

I think it's also important to mention that "model driven" can mean a 
lot of different things. A zope3 interface can "say" all the same things 
a UML model does, just in code instead of pictures, so it's still 
"modeling"  (as far as I'm concerned anyway). :)
