share
Traditionally, computer programming has been the prerogative of professional developers using textual programming languages such as C, Java, or Python.

This article brings together low-code literature from various research fields, explaining how techniques work while providing a unified point of view. Low-code has the potential to empower more people to automate tasks by creating computer programs, making them more productive and less dependent on scarce professional software developers.
