Today's equivalent would be an IDE that you hit "new project" and type a few lines and draw a few boxes and you've got something up and running in the cloud. There's nothing like it as far as I know; there's an entire generation or more who have never seen programming work like that, and don't even envision it, it seems. Bold ambitions these days usually amount to a clone of a popular thing, with some kind of tweak that's interesting but not nearly interesting enough to get people to move.

ReTool is sorta this — I imagine that’s why they published this article!

FreePascal/Lazarus is like that, it's actively maintained and totally free.
They're even adding iOS, Android and web targets. Give it a try!
