> Isn't there a Python based dialect for that already ? ... Anyway, it seems to be it would be better to make a lib for this than a whole language. FPGA programmers are quite a different breed than python developers. Things that are simple in programming languages (e.g., multiplication) can create real issues in an FPGA. I'm normally all for simplifying and unifying semantics, but with hardware programming, a split is justified.

Libs can track what a verilog integration system can check, and do that at a higher level. Qualcomm don't write all verilog or system c by hand, they have software generating it.

  What are they using as source then? Please let us know more?

    I know that some qualcomm tools use IP described in a python dialect, and then generate the verilog out of it. They have a whole synthesis system on top of that. I assume they are not alone.
