Class parameterization and class generation enhance the object-oriented means of Modelica; either by making them better accessible for the user or more powerful to apply for the library designer. Nevertheless; the current solution in Modelica does not properly distinguish between these two concepts; and hence it does not represent a fully satisfying solution. This paper presents a proposal or vision for a partial redesign of the language by separating class parameterization and class generation. In this way; the language becomes simpler and yet more powerful. The derived concepts may serve as guideline for future considerations of the Modelica language design.

Keywords: language design; class-parameterization
