Make UML into a programming language

Matt Stephens last suggestion is pure bull. However I like the idea of being able to code using graphical+text code rather than just pure text. But the CASE tool should actually produce a working program so UML diagram makers need to concentrate on that aspect - on turning UML into a full featured programming language; anything in-between is not really worth having.

The point at which these graphical tools turn into programming languages will be the point at which they take off.

Don't bother with using UML to document your work; use it as Agile programmers do.
