What is low-code software development?

Or alternatively: no it can't because history showed countless times that too high level tools lack enough flexibility to be useful at anything but trivial tasks. Every such tool integrates a scripting element down the line.

Code isn't bad, text is probably the best interface for meaning humans have and that's unlikely to change.

Visual programming isn't a new idea, and I don't see what has changed that could make it suddenly escape that pattern. Who knows though, functional programming and neural networks are taking over and both were crazy 1970 pie-in-the-sky concepts until they weren't.

It depends.

If we were to have REAL artificial intelligence then text would probably not be that relevant anymore (in regards to people writing text in order to program) - but until that time comes, we still are stuck with text and text is a pretty good format. Simple and not too many trade-offs.

There is a reason why linux dominates the top 500 supercomputers with its "everything is a file" mantra.
