We had a look at a few options before doing our own. A few thoughts;
Building a DSL allows us to keep it really simple to start, we tried using SKIDL ( a very cool python project) and found it was pretty easy to get your self in a weird spot, the language would let users do things like create a component and not hold a reference to it.
Units and tolerances are core to our language, the physical world is 'fuzzy' and having a good way to deal with those we think is pretty important.
We are also trying to make it as readable and friendly as possible, our expectation is our users will likely have some experience with python and perhaps a little C back in school, so making it clear and approachable is front of mind.
Very open to critiques on our choices! We still very much in development.
