Well, I guess I'm on a roll. From no idea of what to do or learn to too many.......... and it's another of those things that's likely will scare people away, so it's likely I'll not get replies. Anyway.............
A while back I got across a gem of a programming language that has native vms, a jvm compiler as well as multiple transpilers, for JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, Python, Lua, PHP, Flash and I don't remember which else. It's called Haxe. Since it targets so many languages, it has myriads of uses. And precisely while I'm getting excited about it, this idea of an extension to PlantUML came to me; just that it's somehow inappropriate to present it as an extension; so my idea is to develop it as a companion. It involves creating a domain specific language (DSL) to draw CRC cards that could allow for class planning on the early development stages. Now, I'm a beginner on any of those things, so it's likely it'll be a failure and wouldn't find a following; but as many of the things I've been doing recently, it's more of a learning exercise. However, who knows who will find it useful? I'll try it anyway.
And I'd consider crazy coding and publishing a plugin for MyBB months ago; but I did it. So it doesn't feel so farfetched now as it'd have felt months ago. So here I go again.
