UML is a language for modeling systems. The diagrammatic portion,
as popular as it is, is really not the essence of UML. (02)
Diagrammatic languages and other visualization schemes appeal to a very
large majority of humans 'cause of our outsized visual cortex, but
ultimately visual languages very limiting. They scale very poorly,
which is a large part of why visual programming languages have never
gotten any traction beyond a few limited settings. (03)
