I know numerous people whose technical skills I highly respect that have a degree in all kinds of things, or, indeed, nothing.

Hooray for the "wild west" model of package repositories. Come back maintainers & packagers, all is forgiven!

Is is not simply that the best way we have of describing complex systems made out of logic gates is with these languages?

Well, no, other way around more likely - the most practical way of building programs for these systems would probably be through VHDL/Verilog with a specialized toolchain. (edit: although actually FPGAs could be useful simply because

I think we disagree with definitions of "quality control". My definition goes hand in hand with consistency.

It wouldn't. Nothing will help with package managers that follow the "wild west" or "any old crap" model where there is no maintainer or distributor between the developer and consumer that is allowed to perform any

This is cool however I think it may exhibit performance problems when used in the wild if the trigger constraint were to be used. (Could possibly gain some performance replacing a UNION with UNION ALL). Also your colleagues may curse you do
