Looks promising. I would love to see a tool to convert existing programs to Unit.

This readme gives a much better idea of how it works: https://github.com/samuelmtimbo/unit/blob/main/src/docs/star...

Looks like a fancy Ladder logic editor, which is how industrial PLCs (machine controllers) are normally programmed.

Example: https://github.com/leofds/iot-ladder-editor Fiddle: https://www.plcfiddle.com/

Real world: Siemens SIMATIC for S7 PLCs (this lets you interchange between an Assembly-like language and the visual Ladder logic): https://cache.industry.siemens.com/dl/files/395/18654395/att...
