[cctalk] Re: Good C to FPGA/PLA compiler

100% disagree, Verilog and SV are bad tools - very easy to do a bad job with - penknife grade. Verilog however is very c like in that it is untyped and prone to all the consequent tar pits; see above. VHDL is a good tool which is typed and like the Algol family of languages precludes many follies. The 2008 flavor, which is where the tools are curently, is not as pedantic as the older standards '97 & '83. However, any non trivial FPGA design work requires an understanding of FPGA (not SSI/MSI) logic, an HDL and the toolchain(s). Quite a lot of learning / experience.
