Didn't we, as a community, already try and subsequently scrap this idea when it was called UML?

  The problem with UML is not that it's graphical, but because it's not the ultimate source of truth in your software. The UML isn't executable. Instead you build the UML and then go write code to implement what you modeled in UML. Anything you change in the code is not reflected in the UML making it out of date. If you could actually execute your UML it would be much more useful. As it stands, its just a standardized diagram for visualizing designs.

    There was this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UML_tool#Code_generation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UML_tool#Code_generation

      And it mostly generated scaffolding or property bags(java beans), not logic.
