Intel used "iHDL" which was an in-house language from 1986 to 2005, and after 2005 switched mainly to Verilog. You usually see VHDL in .eu and some defense contractors, and Verilog everywhere else. VHDL feels similar to Ada, and Verilog is more similar to C. An interesting history from Intel's perspective is available here: http://webee.technion.ac.il/people/kolodny/ftp/IntelCADPaperFinal2.pdf http://webee.technion.ac.il/people/kolodny/ftp/IntelCADPaper...
