You can turn any programming language into a super productive “low code like” development platform by adding the necessary libraries/frameworks.

I personally use a code generator to generate more than 90% of the C++ and Javascript code that a typical biz client/server application needs. Protocols, Database support etc. Using libraries to do what isn’t application dependent.

And when I occasionally (rarely) need a new feature not supported by the code generator or libraries, I simply add it as needed.

I highly recommend building your own code generator/libraries. Yes it takes a bit more time up front, but you get a solution that is tailored and perfectly shaped to your (team) needs. And you don’t end up depending on some open source project that has been abandoned or changed in a direction that you don’t agree with.
