We use an internal 'no code' tool to do complicated data transformation logic. Our flow has become so large and convoluted, it is extremely difficult to put feature and debugging is absolute nightmare.

You have no idea how many times we had wished all this data transformation was in vanilla Java/Python. Our life would have been so much easier. But at this time, it is too large to ignore.

If your nocode tool was a graph, a TUI debugger [0] like this could have helped. The problem is that people usually try to use the graph UI for debugging as well.

If it is an internal tool, why can't they add a flow that calls Java/Python?
