low-code

Some firms are turning to new, "low-code" application platforms that accelerate app delivery by dramatically reducing the amount of hand-coding required.

Low-code applications can hence accumulate high complexity, bugs and other forms technical debt just as badly or even worse than traditional applications. However, the languages created for low-code platforms commonly lack features that would assist in their understanding and maintenance, such as the ability or organize them into files and modules, or even to add detailed comments attached to individual code elements.
