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 f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

 sounds like the "suits" have found a way to get rid of overpriced coders

And the results will suit them just fine, like always when they try to be smart.

VBA is not the worst thing in the world. Oh wait, maybe it is.

Tied with PHP.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

In twenty years of coding, I have never heard of such an animal. I know what low level code, like C or C++, or assembly, is, and I have a rough idea what BPM is, but my BPM is light years away from anything close to low level.

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

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.

Not bloody Things by any chance? I remember the ThingsDB data layer and it truly was a steaming bucket of excrement!

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 can't remember the actul product but it was all Things This and Things That. What I do recall was that the company behind it was French; which goes to explain why it never actually worked.

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)

They belonged to the past even back in 2005

I'm not a fun of these platforms but some of them really seems to be very promising. Try to get a look at the Forrester research about low code development, it's a report very interesting

Sometimes they can have uses, but in the main it's a way of trying to create a product while avoiding coding.. 
There are many RAD-type platforms (call them what you will) and while you'll often get a reasonable product out for minimal effort, it usually doesn't take long before you come up against the limitations of the platform - be it capabilities, licensing, support or vendor issues, e.g. going out of business or dropping support for the platform you use
