Not impossible but hard: create an application that lets you talk and auto-generate code/pages for an app. There are lots of companies working on this but you might be able to find a good niche.

I can't believe we still don't have a standard tool that lets a user design a CRUD application right from server back-end to front-end.
I think they do exist.

Ruby on Rails and similar for example.

Microsoft Access and similar is a bit older but does that too I guess.

Microsoft Access is decades old and no one seems to have improved on that. Microsoft FrontPage was also on same lines.

Why we are not abstracting CRUD away like everything else? Is it because engineers are happy creating CRUD apps?

It's a mistery to me too.
