A comment on Programming breakthroughs we need. Parent comment
The main problem is that MOST "programming" languages/environments are not made for business apps, (or for other niches, btw).
Python? Ruby? Julia? Delphi? all fail to work to make(or solve even small cases of) business apps.
By a long mile.

What Excel solves, is have a barebones, half-working, unscalable, ill-suited... BUT MADE FOR help people get a "solution" for this.
Things that are more like this are Django, Jupyter notebooks, a little of Julia, FoxPro. But still are more pro-developer than pro-power-user.
I'd say the great weakness of No Code solutions isn't so much they are bad, but that they have no FOSS support. At all.
