Microsoft had something really special with Visual Basic back in the 1990s, nothing has come close to it ever since, including Visual Basic.NET.
React-like frameworks seem to be a good basis for no-code and it seems that no-code could tame the complexity of coding for such a framework.
Such a system also needs a matching back end (otherwise it is just a 50%-code framework.)
A few years back I was exploring the possibility of “low-code” frameworks that include a semantic modeling component. That is, the system comes with prebuilt data models for common business cases so that “developers” don’t kneecap themselves by picking a bad data model.
where he says that there are several (say five) stages in software development and a technical innovation that reduces the effort of one of those to zero still leaves the other 4/5. The way around that is through that, which is that a revolutionary no-code product needs to address all the work that goes into the product. If you just pick a certain subset of the problem to solve you are a bridesmaid and not a bride.
Look me up my profile and I’ll show you some of my slides from that period.
