Nice Project! Yeah, I also think low-code is not really hitting the spot, what you want is better code, which is closer to the concepts you are dealing with. And of course, the problem with code is that a lot of knowledge is implicitly taken for granted. For example, in your above code I see imports of "reflect-metadata" and "dotenv/config", and then relative paths are used to include other stuff like "./model/model", etc. Where do these things come from? Furthermore there is async/await, which looks easy enough, but is nevertheless a quite advanced concept. When and why do I use it? What can go wrong when I use it?

So I think the problem with code as we know it is that it looks deceptively simple, but actually a lot of concepts are bundled together in it, which you need to properly understand if you want to produce safe and secure apps. It doesn't help that the details of code change very quickly, especially in a TypeScript/JavaScript setting.
