Abstract
MDSL, which stands for Microcomputer Design and Simulation Language, is one of an ever growing number of computer hardware design (or description) languages or CHDL's. The introduction of any new language, particularly a new CHDL, is accompanied by a number of WHYs. Why should anyone bother to develop a CHDL? Why did we bother to develop a new one? Why did MDSL take the form it did?

Parsing by numbers and asparagus
This topic was brought to mind by the title of a recentish publication[1], where "a tiny virtual machine" was mentioned. I have told you[2] about our virtual machine for Basic which ran in 16 kilobytes; the smallest of the processors used for the "tiny ...
