  Icarus is still around. Stephen Williams has been steadfastly working on it over the years. http://iverilog.icarus.com/ http://iverilog.icarus.com/ https://github.com/steveicarus/iverilog https://github.com/steveicarus/iverilog I use it almost daily. It is a really nice Verilog simulator. I also use Verilator, ModelSim and other sims too . All of them find different issues with the code. The linter in Verilator is very nice to use to get rapid feedback.

    That's awesome to hear. Glad it's still alive and kicking. If I had a need to Verilog again, it would be my first go-to. Damn, Icarus saved me so much time back in the day. It even performed better on my used laptop (think it was a P2-166 that we had to go to eBay to find new(er) batteries that could hold a charge, not sure, finally recycled it 2 years ago) than the commercial tools on the Sun boxes that were relatively modern in 2002-2003. I really mean it, Icarus was a life saved for me in college. I could do nearly all my work off campus at any hour instead of only being able to test in the handful of hours a week that the lab and I were free together.
