I’m not sure what to think of the move announced by Doug Purdy. It’s not a complete surprise since the team recently moved more towards the data team, but I still am disappointed by this announcement. I n the past “Oslo” was announced as a modeling platform and a Language Workbench...

We were looking at modeling and modeling domains, but what is a model? We have… Drawings Models used to communicate with others, for example...
