@allgebrah having to do a 2d embedding artificially limits the range of abstractions you can use and i don't find that compelling

@allgebrah a very practical example: you're designing a parametric power converter which needs to place a different set of components...1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@allgebrah depending on params. e.g. from two to four output caps depending on output current. abstract this out in graph repro.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@allgebrah that's doable with some sort of "repeat" primitive, sure. how what about configurable number of outputs?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@allgebrah sure. i can see how you *maybe* can include the "repeat" primitive on "block" level itself. now embed that block in another one…2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@whitequark when one reads about 2D programming, it's all solutions, little problems, especially little "we solve X in this specific way"1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
