Will Low-Code and No-Code merge into a single market segment for both enterprise-class and user-friendly developers?
Today's businesses are implementing enriching their operations with capabilities little by little on a variety of different products. But the trend is clear before you know it, the distinction between tools that are powerful enough for professional development teams and to be simple enough for citizen developers.
[...] Before heading, let's identify the distinct functions of low code and no code in app development, by bifurcating them.
[...] Low Code: Low code is a development move that automates time-consuming manual processes, without manual coding, using a visual IDE environment, which is automation that connects to backends, and application management system.
No code: In the same way as low-code platforms, no code platform uses a visual application system that allows users to create applications without coding. Usually this includes drag and drop functions. An example of this is Salesforce CRM, which enables people with coding skills to code, and those who don't have those skills can build simple apps without using the system.
[...] Artificial intelligence (AI) is soon to be the most disruptive. Some providers are already integrating AI into their Low-Code / No-Code platforms for various purposes. For example, AI can help address the most complex challenges of integrating with semi-structured and unstructured data sources.
[...] Not only do several IT people fear their jobs, but the Low-Code / No-Code also threatens their credibility.

How many times already, have you observed a flood of exactly these promises fountain out of industry rags, only to bubble a bit then ebb without trace? I can remember no less than three, not that I counted.

My first experience started in 1990. Yes 30yrs ago.
First was main frame development system (wish I could remember the name) running on S/38 (then AS/300) and IBM MAIN Frames. The actual tool ran on PS/2 model 70(?). I reverse engineered our system to their model and feed in 1million lines code, OCL, RPG and ASM. That took almost 3 days. Then asked it to display the first call the menu function in tree view. Came back 1.5hr later... it brought up 4 black bars and 3 lines of black dots. There was too much information for it to display. Each bar was was hundreds of functions blocks call hundreds of function block.
The next one ran on a MAC. IT was version of Silverrun a database design tool. We were using that too redefine the hand coded documentions of the file structures. That was func a fun one it ran real time, but again the completeness of system, it took 7 to 10mins to complete each operations. Think re-entrant database server sending message to itself and other servers to keep all in sync.

Remember a program, advertised in BYTE magazine, in oh, about 1983 or 1984 thereabout.
The Last One
Boy did that one get a lot of hype. It was going to be the last shrink wrapped application that a business person ever needed to buy. No more of these pesky programmers that tell you how difficult or outright impossible your idea is.
Later, there was another one . . .

Wasn't getting rid of coding what Fortran and Cobol originally were intended to do?
They did eliminate a lot of coding, but they introduced another lot of coding.
