codewithout
Codewithout is a term used in software development to describe approaches, tools, and practices aimed at creating software with little or no traditional hand-written code. It sits within the broader no-code and low-code ecosystems but emphasizes the use of declarative specifications, templates, and code generation to express system behavior rather than implement it line by line.
Core ideas include declarative configuration, domain-specific languages, model-driven artifacts, and automated scaffolding that can translate into
Implementation approaches vary: template engines, DSLs, or model-to-text generators; some platforms provide runtimes that interpret specifications.
Impact and reception: Advocates argue it shortens development cycles and lowers entry barriers while aligning software
History: The concept grew from the no-code and low-code movements in the 2010s and 2020s, evolving toward
