Hey, this is neat. It's pretty much Turtle for circuits. You could have called it CircuitTurtle!

I don't do a lot of circuit design, but I'm more of a visual person so I feel like I would be more likely to draw this in something like KiCad and then want to export it to this format to make diffs simpler.

Thanks! For laying out and connecting the schematic components, I found that a turtle/logo inspired flow does do the job well for relative placement. I guess you can imagine it as creating paths for the electrons to flow!

I do like the ease of visually drawing schematics, however for some parts of circuit design, it gets repetitive and the GUI (used Altium, Allegro and Kicad professionally) gets in the way. For more complex circuit changes, it can be much easier to diff text rather than graphics, since text can capture intent better.
