Oh these were great!

I didn't know about them though. My project's inspiration is due to the fact that I love JS and had a computer system architecture course wherein I learnt VHDL.

I felt that the NodeJS Events API could probably help me simulate a `signal` driven system and thus, I started experimenting :)

Since nodejs is single threaded, you'll get the best results with synchronous logic. Even asynchronous systems are difficult to design in real life, so it's not a bad idea to use nodejs.

Yeah, using events do offer an amazing async behaviour.

Thus,the I/O arguments of every hardware component are extensions to EventEmitter, resulting in quite an amazing simulation.
