If that ever comes to pass, I'm going back to a wire-wrap tool.
no kidding! wire wrap is still a nice technology for protoyping! try
developing a 6 layer backplane pcb.
Thanks - I stopped at 8 layers, "Manhattan Geometry" and I haven't even shaken
hands in nearly 30 years.
But embedding on-die what used to be separate IC's if not transistors (or, for
me vacuum tubes - M33 analog & AN/FSQ-7 digital) has reduced the layer count -
in growth rate as well as absolute terms - and very dramatically so.
Shouldn't be too far-off that a CPU ships with a few dozen LEDs around the
package periphery and a mating optical socket instead of half a thousand BGA bumps.
Can only wish it were also so with libs....
