1. A relational language designed by Jones and M. Sheeran in
1986 for describing and designing circuits (a hardwaredescription language). Ruby programs denote binaryrelations and programs are built-up inductively from
primitive relations using a pre-defined set of relationaloperators. Ruby programs also have a geometric
interpretation as networks of primitive relations connected by
wires, which is important when layout is considered in circuit
design.
Ruby has been continually developed since 1986, and has been
used to design many different kinds of circuits, including
circuits.
