Low Code is just diagram->code in many respects. Many platforms have basically similar constructs.

I work on a 'low code' platform, not really, but we do a lot of EDI. This requires a bunch of very normal patterns and so we basically have a mini-DSL for mapping X12 and EDIFACT into other objects.

You guessed it, we have a diagram flow control tool.

It works, yes I can write it in Javascript too... but most of the 'flow control bits' are really inside of a small sandbox. Of course, we allow you to kick out to a sandbox and program if needed.

But for the most part, yeah I mean a good mini-DSL gets you 90% of the way there for us and we dont reach for programming to often.

So - its still useful to abstract some stuff.

Could AI write it by hand every time? yes... but you still would want all the bells and sidepieces.
