In my opinion, that’s the magic of programming languages. I type a few high level words and characters, then there is a deep stack of interpreting the strings into machine code and returning data and side effects. It is stupid simple as the end user and immensely complex chain of machinery.

SQL is an extreme example of strings parsed to make complex computer behavior. Shell scripting too.

For enforcing complete object correctness and interfaces as they are explicitly designed then low code no code seems like it has a better proposition.

Anyway, maybe structured editors fit a space between dumb strings and pointing and clicking blocks and connectors. I’m all for correct tool for the job and end user. I think that minimizing end user tooling with some LSP go-to definitions and linting in a text editor is my preference. Similar to how FIFA used to be against high tech slow mo replay for soccer matches to make the sport egalitarian / accessible for the whole world I think that analogously programming should focus on the simplicity and portability of authored documents.
