Topaz 🐇<p>OK this is pretty cool. A project called DigitalJS can give you a visual layout of all of the logic that'll go into a Verilog design, using Yosys to do the generation. Being able to see what's being ultimately produced helps me, a much more visual person, understand when I've flubbed something that generates too much logic. I already optimized one piece of the display RAM using it.
