Domain Workbench would hand enterprise software design to businesspeople. Here’s how it works: Users write clear directions in text, spreadsheet, or flowchart-like forms describing what the software should do. In some cases, they can use an interface where lines are drawn between boxes and documents to establish the relationships and rules that an application must follow. The information is sent to a code generator, which spits out the 1000s of lines necessary to build the application. Intentional users must still have a software engineer on hand to help set up the programming language and to tweak it anytime a variable changes.

pfft. typical suit wanking fantasies. “no programming skills necessary”. simonyi has been hyping this vaporware for almost 10 years now, where is it?
