They can. It's just that this specific program is not capable of translating it.

#6Optimizing passes for this would be interesting.
Describing a flip flop as a villager minecart with some number of NaN minecarts beside it seems challenging to pick when to use it vs a copper bulb.

#10This is an amazing timeline. I still remember the day redstone was added to Minecraft. I spent the entire evening and many days afterwards on the forum brainstorming how to implement various things. I think I had one of the first if not the first T flip flop, it "took an entire room" and was slow. It has been crazy watching things get compacted, repeaters getting added, pistons, comparators. I remember when BUDs got discovered and then eventually just added as a block.
Now* we have an entire HDL.
I honestly stopped keeping track of things around 2012 so I am completely lost looking at modern redstone contraptions.
