Is modern Verilog not frustrating? I don't know much about it, but you're certainly right that the older stuff can be.

- tails4e 8y agoIt's different for sure. It has a lot of very nice features that make it less easy to shoot yourself in the foot for design. It is more expressive, especially woth multidimensional types and real number modelling, plus a whole host of verification features like constrained random verification, classes, coverpoints, assertions, etc. I have to say I like it, but the learning curve is steeper and you can still code 'foot shooting solutions as it is backward compatible - so better to learn the new, more correct way than to start with the old verilog and then learn the new features.
