I think that right now, probably the toold that are closest are the better UML apps out there. Rational Rose, and Microsoft Visio. Where you diagram your program flow, and the app builds your app skeleton for you. Functions, classes, and all it can based on the data you've given it. For me personally though, this is not my own style of coding. I prefer to write small bits at a time and test as I go. This way, I do not spend large amounts of time debugging code . . .
