[IdiocyInAction]

In my mind, "no code" doesn't really exist. All that exists are different programming languages, some of which are visual and require less learning. You could, principally, design a no-code web app IDE that could build whatever website you like; but that doesn't remove the complexity of building it, it's simply expressed in a different way. Seeing programming as some nuisance is, IMHO, the wrong mindset; it's the very process that transforms requirements and expectations into a product. True "no-code" would require human-level (or at least very advanced) AI systems. Of course, for very low-complexity systems, you can define a graphical programming language that abstracts away most of the technical details (e.g. Dreamweaver, stuff like Wix), but even that is a very primitive form of programming. Excel is also a form of programming.

Also, I don't really get the hostility for code as a textual format. Text has a number of advantages that just haven't been replicated; it's a very compact format, reasonably standardized, can easily be refactored and can be universally edited. Also, I don't think it hinders learning about programming; learning the programming language syntax is the easiest part, IME. It took me about 4 weeks when I was 14 to learn Java. Learning how to solve problems with the language is a whole different ballgame and that wouldn't be solved by having a graphical programming language. There are cases where it is advantageous (e.g. Excel), but for the majority of use-cases, I think you'll find it hard to get more productivity with a graphical format.
