I feel like this is how the UX for developing software should be. Types and intellisense plus copilot somewhat bring us close to something like this. Where adding a new module somehow automatically adjust itself to the project instead of having to provide strict API interfaces. Just a thought.

And runs into a familiar problem.

Because a real world requirement in software development is the equivalent of, "I want to model my town".

And in townscaper I can't, because the presets don't fit my real world town.

So you then need to hire in a specialist block customiser who can write custom blocks for you to use in the modeller.

And then you realise you've just pushed the problem one step deeper.

Hey, this sounds like the goal of the low code industry. To deliver an authoring experience where you don't have to worry about the semantics of code do develop software. It works really well in certain contexts, but a word of warning - there are trade offs. For instance, putting constraints on how applications talk to each other using APIs may seem limiting, but it does provide a standard interface that can be relied on for software to connect with one another.
