====== Skill (EDA Software) ======

Skill is a heavily LISP inspired programming language developed by [[category:history:cadence|Cadence]] as apart of their various EDA Suites.

It's design is largely inspired by [[category:software:symbolics:ns|NS]], utilizing parts of the NS source, with the development supported by [[category:people:neil_weste|Neil Weste]] after he was approached by the founder [[category:people:jim_solomon|Jim Solomon]] following his talk; "OK, if these CAD tools are so great, why isn't my chip design on schedule?" at the 1994 IEEE International Conference on Computer Design.
