    Hi Everybody, my company is going to start new age development of our legacy software using some of the low code platform available on the market. Please i really would like to have some feedbacks/opinion/suggestions about the "low code" development. For low code development i mean the one using BPM (Business process management) platforms. Thanks in advance

      Somehow all this sounds like a new fancy name for Access. And if some company tells me they are going to start a new age by using Access...

      The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
      This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                      Back in 2005, I worked for a company who's main IDE (if you can call it such a thing) was Omnis Studio (it's still around, weirdly enough http://www.tigerlogic.com/tigerlogic/omnis/products/studio/[^]) It was sold as a "4th generation language" (referring to the Omnis language) and was so advanced that you weren't allowed to type your own code, but had to select the appropriate keywords from a context sensitive list. I was glad to see the back of that :laugh:

                            Yikes. I thought those kind of things died by 2000. Around '95 I was introduced to a very evil Frankenstein that generated VB-like code (maybe crossed with COBOL) based on a flowchart you created with a GUI. Luckily I wasn't a coder then and this was just a novelty for my boss.

                              This lot may not be a good source of opinions on enterprise type software. From my VERY limited experience with these things the "development" is mostly configuring their framework. The only validity for the expression low code would be low value code. A framework is an abstraction layer and I would consider these to be very abstracted. You probably need to find a forum of configurers rather than developers.

                                my experience of this type of platform is that it works fine if you can change your systems to follow how the platform works, else you end up doing 3x the coding to get round issues with the platform

                                    I dunno what the name was, but Things does ring a microscopic bell somewhere. I don't remember seeing a data layer as such, but maybe back then I didn't know to look at or for one.

                                      I think that is not only matter of configuring their framework. Most of the activities will be spent on process design, including coding C# scripts and where complexity depends from the process you are defining.

                                        It sounds like you've been working with SAP. That works best if you change all systems, including your country's taxation and accounting system, to adjust for SAP.

                                          Back in 2005, I worked for a company who's main IDE (if you can call it such a thing) was Omnis Studio (it's still around, weirdly enough http://www.tigerlogic.com/tigerlogic/omnis/products/studio/[^]) It was sold as a "4th generation language" (referring to the Omnis language) and was so advanced that you weren't allowed to type your own code, but had to select the appropriate keywords from a context sensitive list. I was glad to see the back of that :laugh:

                                          I think that such things belong to the past. I worked with such tools known as CASE, RAD or 4GL (i was even a PowerBuilder developer :-)) The new paradigma of BPM is focusing on process design and coding it with any script language (if needed)
