Could No-Code Be Code? Toward a No-Code Programming Language for Citizen Developers | Proceedings of the 2023 ACM SIGPLAN International Symposium on New Ideas, New Paradigms, and Reflections on Programming and Software
The article discusses the anticipated shortage of software engineers by 2030 and the software industrys response to this issue. It suggests that citizen developers, or technically-minded individuals with little to no programming skills, could use No-Code platforms to fill the gap. However, the article notes that current No-Code platforms lack the flexibility of a general-purpose programming language. The article proposes a multi-paradigm minimalist approach to bridge the gap between simplicity and expressiveness, providing a proof-of-concept for a general-purpose programming language designed for citizen developers.
