Bob, you do have an amazing knack for entertainingly concise
declarations of contempt for nonsense. MDA is indeed snake oil, to
invent a "new" market (more $ that way) to hide with as much expense as
possible the obvious need for logically sound, non-imperative
languages.
In a rational world, we'd simply say we needed higher-level languages.
Instead, we get a shiny MDA troika hitched to a blind, reeking mule
[hence sterile, as no good can come of it] named UML and the tick on
its hide, OCL (Object Constraint Language). All crap, amply argued
elsewhere, but especially constructively here:
