Topic: Papyrus and RobMoSys: categorical in spirit?

In doing some background research I've run across this eclipse page for Papyrus and subsequently RobMoSys, which seemed to have several keywords that were suggestive.

The video survey on the first page seems to convince me someone there is aware of applications of category theory, or if not, is doing a bang-up job of reinventing them. It demonstrates what appears to be a diagrammatic development environment, "composability," and methods of static analysis on the diagram to find faults, and simulation capabilities that I would have guessed would arise out of ideas I think I've seen in applied category theory material.

I would like to know if anyone in the community here has heard of or worked with these systems, or worked ON these systems, to find out their opinion of their usefulness.

After seeing this demo video, I was reminded of several things I'd seen in Topos talks.
