    I worked once on a government contract where the entire application was fleshed out in a design tool. That "application" wound up being the deliverable and the application never made it into a real language.

    Potemkin village, eh? Didn't anyone notice or care that the application didn't do anything?

    But if the 'users' were satisfied, what the heck. Might even be a way to save on development costs, and the maintenance would certainly be simple.

    It did stuff, it actually updated the database, it was just horribly slow.

    I guess it was one of the first 4GL RAD systems.
