Do you use nocode programming tools? What’s the state of the art?


I’ve revently found that games programming nocode tools are incredibly sophisticated.

I wonder why back end server application development tools aren’t?

Why do I have to write everything in code?

I would have thought by now I’d be able to wire most of it up nocode and fill in the gaps where more sophisticated stuff is needed with code.

So I wonder, what is the state of the art in nocode?

What is up and coming, what looks exciting and promising?

Retool seems pretty [1] state of the art.

No/Low code is just a new phrase for the older and less-cool visual-programming, which has been a mirage since computer graphics came out...
