model-as-you-code

April 2nd, 2007

model-first is not necessarily a good idea
code-only neither
but if you can write your classes directly without modelling first, and still come up with a well-modeled solution. why not? everything else is a productivity-hinderer
ergo: what we need is *seamless* code/model transformation.
assumption: the code and the model are different sides of the same coin.

we also need collaberative modeling. i.e. joint-whiteboards for modelling. eclipse plugin: collaberative modeling perspective
