Would you consider something like Collibra https://www.collibra.com/ to be no-code? They seem to be exploding at the moment. How about SAP or Salesforce?
I can't tell from the front page but this appears to be a Business Intelligence tool?

The first real low-code solution was a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets were what drove businesses to buy PCs in the early 80s. In the 90s, CASE (computer-automated software engineering) was a big thing. Powerbuilder was huge. Novell had one where you could draw a flowchart and fill in dialogs to make client-server apps... UI builders became common as language vendors added graphical IDEs to their game. In the 00's we had a…
"Lots of successful products and fortunes made with No Code and low code."
What are some examples?
This post makes no-code feel like an MLM. Half of the highlighted startups are no-code startups founded to teach about no-code.
I feel someone should mention The Last One, from 1981, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_One_(software)
I don’t really understand what “no code” is. You can put up a storefront and conduct business without writing a line of code, simply by adding plug ins to Wordpress, calling out to stripe etc. The result is somewhat templatized and slightly generic looking but that’s great: your value comes from the content, as the author correctly describes, and the visitor will presumably understand navigation etc. This kind of pro…
I think there's value in no-code even for seasoned programmers, especially for quick front-end work. The front-end world is currently very fragmented. Us backend folks are completely befuddled by all the options and frameworks that are out there (Angular, Vue, React, Oh jquery is out? Wait, there's a movement back to plain old Javascript? etc.).
Many of us just want to concentrate on building the backend, and use a tool to quickly mock up a CRUD interface or mobile app in order deploy quickly and iterate with customers.
> Just imagine the same being true for coders: that 7 out of every 10 programmers you spotted at developer conferences or in the engineering departments of larger companies were really only making ends meet while starting their own businesses. this is not a great comparison...
No-code = code from another person
You wish, usually you still end up programming the thing, just with worse tools.
This, exactly! I once was stuck under a manager that fully bought into the idea that BPMS systems would replace most enterprise development (or at least wanted me to think that way to work on his BPMS project). He said semi-technical BAs would be able to do all the work in the future, blah, blah, blah.
It wasn't true: we built what was asked for, but you had to be a developer to get within 10 feet of the thing. There were so many gotchas, and you had to code to implement anything that wasn't a toy. It was basically developed with shitty fake-Java and shitty fake-JSP with a lot of other shitty-fake technologies.

Love the historical context here... "Lots of successful products and fortunes made with No Code and low code." What are some examples?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Dark Lang is doing the same, we almost did, but are using Cuelang for our take on this now
Cuelang looks interesting, but also seems like a language with a very specific use case. I don't understand Dark Lang's reasoning for using a custom language when they could have made an IDE.
