All the HLL to HDL converters I know of require you to structure you HLL code as if it were HDL code. In other words, you are not absolved of understanding how things work at the hardware level and you can't just feed regular code into it and have it pop out hardware. If you have to write stilted HLL to implement your design anyway, you might as well do it properly and write it in one of the HDLs instead.
