this article about some
OliviaNova software. I guess it just generates applications (NT/2000/2003, "most" *nix platforms using VB6, Java/EJB/JSP, CF and .Net) after you give it some basic specs, with only 7% of the errors that human programmers make. I'd have to see it to believe it. I can't imagine taking the human element out of programming, but I guess it's bound to happen eventually.
