You have no idea how much I wish i could interact with a simulator using something other than tcl, preferably python.
I don't have anything against tcl per se, but I can't think nearly effectively about anything because tcl doesn't really live anywhere else that I work. I can appreciate that it has the audacity to thrive in the tools I have to use, but I always sort of pine for what could be.
- roastsquirrel 7y agoTcl is good for interacting with a simulator (and other tools) for the same reasons Bash is good for interactive shells, and I think Tcl is the best tool for those jobs. What is the "could be" that you pine for?
- gimmeThaBeet 7y agoso like one instance I had is making a big input vector for running my testbench against. JSON, CSV, work with it in a dict or list, anything that I sort of already knew in python was better than what I cobbled together. It's nothing against TCL, and it no doubt has the power to do it, it's just up I do FPGA stuff, python is my swiss army bludgeoning device. It's just like EDA tooling is like, the #1 place where I wish python lived, but it's TCL's stronghold.
