Low code is what we are doing every day with modern programming languages and developer tools. We write a fraction of the code someone had to write 30 years ago for the same functionality. In that regard, the future is already here.
And developers haven't been replaced, and it is unlikely that they will be. But the role has already changed. A bigger part of being a developer is to understand business requirement and talking to customers (internal and external), while previously you could rely on your precious technical skills to be irreplaceable.
Finally, for many people No Code seems to mean "graphical code". That is certainly nothing new and is great for some things, like developing interfaces and I have seen some reasonably successful ones for developing database schemas. But for expressing flow and logic, text still rules supreme (for a number of reasons).
