    agree with all of this. Though i'd say: since the language is mostly read by humans rather than written, in my opinion, it makes even more sense to have a language syntax that actu…

    I’m relatively new to programming but I wish they had used a functional language syntax rather than an object oriented one as the basis for mojo. From my experience, AI revolves a …

    Thanks! And glad you are making your way towards electronics. Yes, we hope for the packages.atopile.io to become a place where you can share your designs and explore what other peo…

    Pain might not have been the right word indeed. The aspect we wanted to point to was rather the fact that we had to do it over and over again. And so from that perspective it becam…

    Thanks for your detailed answer! Tons of information in there. To your point about how the work gets divided, I don't think that work will necessarily be distributed amongst many p…

    Fully agree! We'd much rather be in a situation where criticism is consistently thrown at the project so we can further improve it rather than having positive feedback and the disc…

    Thanks for sharing the docs! Our language is mostly declarative at the moment. There are some features we discussed that would be imperative and we might introduce them in future v…

    Well designed schematics are great. Especially if you are sharing them with your team as documentation. The point we would like to move towards is one where atopile enables you to …

    Autorouting would for sure be a valuable tool to add to EEs toolchains. The reason we focused on the language first is because it is critical to provide high quality information to…

    Thanks for sharing this blog post! Super cool to see how things were done early in the industry! Counterintuitively, I do agree with your points. We didn't end up designing the ato…

    I do think that is fair. The reason that we don't have a visualizer is not that we don't want one, but rather that the value to effort ratio is quite low (and really because the ef…

    Yeah, I think we only allow import x from y for the minute. And because we don't have a language server yet, it wasn't obvious that it was an issue. That'll change soon when the se…

    From a security perspective, it does help that ato is not executable!

    Great point. We'll change that soon! Especially true for interfaces too since modules might have tons of accessible interfaces and the language server could list them out for you. …

    Aspects of the python lexer and parser implementation were borrowed from python, which is partly why we ended up here. I do agree though.

    NetlistSVG is great yeah. We had a play with it. We had a visualizer in the compiler early on in the compiler implemented with JointJS. But it was a pain to maintain and difficult …
