alt Hacker NewsKind of a wild idea, but have you considered using this as a markup language for logic diagrams? I'm thinking something like mermaid - https://mermaid.js.org/ While this might not be super useful for chip design, it is a fully functional HDL, and since it is gate level, it would map nicely to diagrams.

I thought the opposite. Use mermaid as the HDL language. Draw the diagram, then synthesis.
That is a very interesting idea! Tbh, I have been thinking about something along those lines. I was messing around with gemini 3.0 back when it came out and made this program called Logic Lab (https://logiclab-227111532364.us-west1.run.app/). I was thinking of exporting/importing the components as SHDL, but as of rn they are just exported in some generic format gemini made.
