Bubble (programming language)

Bubble is a visual programming language developed by Bubble Group that enables non technical people to build software (web applications, native applications), without typing any code. Instead, users draw the interface by dragging and dropping elements on the page, and define some workflows.[1] Its vision is to make code obsolete for 90% of the software needs. While it is visual, it does require some learning, and can be used to create complex operations. It is used both in schools for education purposes and in production by organizations.[2][3]

It is inspired by some tools in the 1990s that offered the first visual editors to build interfaces, such as Borland Delphi and Visual Basic.[4]

History

Bubble was founded by Emmanuel Straschnov and Josh Haas in 2012.[5][6]
