Yeah, I don't understand why so many people keep trying to write control-flow to FPGA compilers. The only way these things are going to be practical is if you understand how both FPGAs and the compiler work really well, and then write control-flow code in a really specific way that the compiler can handle. At which point you'd be better off using a tool that can model what you want directly. The more useful way to write hardware using programming languages is to create a model of hardware and then use the language features to manipulate that model, and use it to create abstractions for actual hardware patterns.
