Working on Circuitscript, a language based on python to describe electronic schematics/circuits: https://circuitscript.net/
The motivation for creating Circuitscript is to describe schematics in terms of code rather than graphical UIs. I have used different CAD packages extensively (Allegro, Altium, KiCAD) in the past and wanted to spend more time thinking about the schematic design itself rather than fiddling around with GUIs.
The main language goals are to be easy to write and reason, generated graphical schematics should be displayed according to how the designer wishes so and to encourage code reuse.
Currently trying to improve the docs and also release an online IDE. Please check it out and I look forward to feedback!
