Just another name for what's known as Visual Programming Languages - See Visual programming language. Looks like the article is written by technical editors with practical experience where the term (No-code) is used, but in computer science researchers are using the term (visual programming language) from 40 years ago! So this is another article about the same topic but with a different name Charmk (talk) 06:14, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Kvng I am interested in your opinion in this discussion since you rejected the article submission in the past. Charmk (talk) 06:24, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The nominator has added a sentence to the article claiming that NCDP = VPL, but it's not backed up by a source. Given that the AfD hinges on that argument, I think we need something to substantiate it. Or if there are other grounds for the AfD, could we have details, please? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:11, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "No-code development could also be regarded as a form of visual programming. Instead of text-based development environments, users manipulate code elements through drag-and-drop user interfaces. A popular example is MIT Media Lab’s Scratch programming language, which uses graphical programming blocks to teach children and adults how to code."
  • Comment I don't think "could be regarded" and "a form of" quite add up to saying that the two terms and concepts are synonymous, at least not to the extent of rendering this article superfluous. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:15, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • From the (No-code development platform) article we have "No-code development platform (NCDPs) allows programmers and non-programmers to create application software through graphical user interfaces and configuration instead of traditional computer programming." and "Core Design - No-code platforms tend to function off a model-driven, declarative approach where the end user dictates an app's design through drag and drop manipulation or simple logic.".
  • Using graphical user interfaces, drag and drop instead of writing the textual source code --> This is what we call (Visual Programming).
  • The software that uses (Visual Programming) to create new software without the need to write any textual code ---> This is what we call (Visual Programming Language).
  • So this article is just about Visual programming language. check the references here and there. the (No-Code) article is based on technical articles (Written by Business People & Programmers) but the Visual programming language article is based on literature from Computer Science (What scientists have presented about the topic).
