Abstract

Traditionally, computer programming has been the prerogative of professional developers using textual programming languages such as C, Java, or Python. Low-code programming promises an alternative: letting citizen developers create programs using visual abstractions, demonstrations, or natural language. While low-code programming is currently getting a lot of attention in industry, the relevant research literature is scattered, and in fact, rarely uses the term "low-code". 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.
