Perhaps. Those who want to do that can leverage our Javascript and Python blocks to write whatever code they'd like.

Most of our platform is centered around "integrations". For example, You'd have a visual block for an S3 integration (that would have been previously configured) that you'd use rather than initializing an S3 client in code for example.

We want to meet people where they're at though. If you want to write code, you can do that but if you want to use a more visual approach, you can do that as well.

Another way to maybe approach this is to consider programming constructs that are "hard" to understand. Imagine you want to "do n things in parallel". If your company uses Java (or any language where it's no trivial to do concurrency), this is not straight forward. A visual way to do this makes it much easier.
