> "Even so, I think that it is best to stick with Verilog/VHDL for the time being." If you do it for your job, perhaps. However, if you're a hobbyist, that doesn't make as much sense. As a hobbyist you have the luxury of being able to use the tools you like the best. In any case, FPGA design shouldn't be closely coupled to any one language, they're just a tool that allows you to express the design you have in mind. If Clash or Chisel can help you express that design more succinctly and clearly than the competition, there's no need to stick to the other tools. The need only exists for professionals, as changing to languages with lower market share carries risk.
