Graphical "low-code" programming has been around for a long time in e.g. the control systems community, where people typically have strong math am physics backgrounds (e.g., knowledge of vehicle dynamics), but little experience with programming or software engineering.
Matlab Simulink and LabVIEW are well-known products that offer a low code approach to these fields. Large and complex projects are done with these tools.
IMO the complexity is shifted from interacting with the hardware to wrestling with the tools, e.g. version control, knowing what happens exactly and cooperation is really hard.
- seltzered_ 5y agoI would like to hear more from people wrestling with labVIEW projects of sufficient complexity. My (albeit decade-ago) experience is they lack the communities and subtoolings and things break at a point of complexity, thus the "wrestling with the tools" that could help clean things up gets harder when using a no-code flow-based environment.
