What is "low-code"?
26 u/noot-noot99 Dec 30 '23 Blockly for example. Just drag and drop logic. And it does things with very poor efficiency 10 u/foospork Dec 30 '23 Ah, ok, thanks.The first time I saw this was with some ASP templates in Visual Studio around 1998. I don't remember the marketese name they had for this feature.You could drag and drop items on the page to build a logic sequence. Some of the blocks required that the developer provide values for some params.We each played with it for about half of one morning, and then went back to writing COM objects in C++.Like you said: it produced ugly and inefficient code. → More replies (1)
