/prog/rider's secret society

Name: Anonymous 2014-01-27 19:08

We should create a club/lodge for programmers. If stonemasons created one many years ago just because they knew how to carve stupid stones and build some basic structures, why we still don't have one?
This is what we need:
A symbol.
A secret handshake.
A set of rules.
An unknown leader.
An unknown sub-leader.
A library with exceptional computer books, a printed version of world4ch's /prog/ (aka The Old Testament), ancient computers, and other relics.
A list of heretic languages carved in stone.

I was using programming language more as a metaphor; I had something more graphical in mind, like EagleCAD but doing more for the designer. The aim would be to ease the design process for an expert, but also to educate a novice in why various components were needed.

Verilog and VHDL seem to focus mainly on logic gates; they are more like real programming languages. SPICE is closer to what I had in mind, but only models circuits handed to it. I would like to see about taking the next obvious step and smooth the process of circuit design by allowing the designer to work with higher-level abstractions. As with programming, this would reduce the flexibility available, and the old guard would often turn their noses up at it, but I suspect it could also be used to do a lot of work fairly quickly, making it appealing to a lot of people.

Do you have experience in this field? I was just throwing the idea out, and I don't have much knowledge of electronics itself.
