To be fair, this isn't so much about software engineering as it is schematic design with a text file. It's more or less the same things as SPICE simulators which EE's are hopefully familiar enough with. For extremely large designs with a large number of pins on a bus, it's hard to validate all the pins line up correctly in a visual schematic. On a text file, it's really more like a data structure which can be easily validated. See also skidl: https://pypi.org/project/skidl/ https://pypi.org/project/skidl/
