I think we’ve already been moving closer and closer to “no code” simply through the evolution of programming languages and tools, much more than we have through the advancement of specific “no code” frameworks.
Programming languages are becoming higher and higher level. Abstracting more and more boilerplate and plumbing. Then you have frameworks specifically designed to fill that role, and package repositories, further reducing the amount of code you have to write.
The outcomes are that:
1) Your source code has a much higher ratio of business logic to everything else
2) Your business logic is expressed in less lines of code, and in ways that are increasingly becoming more similar to their natural language representation
We haven’t reached “no code”, but we are currently at “much less code”, and a lot of projects can be achieved with “very little code at all”.
