Those interested in XL may also find the much older GalaxC by John Beetem interesting: https://community.element14.com/technologies/fpga-group/b/blog/posts/xxic

- c3d 3y agoWhy do you think it's older? XL started as LX around 1993, and IIRC self-compiled in 2004 or so.
- cb321 3y agoI am looking at a 1989 paper by Beetem & Beetem [1] but then it was called Galaxy.. I agree "much older" might be a bit.. much. Haha. EDIT: Joking aside, I would love to hear a compare & contrast between Galaxy/GalaxC & LX/XL, though!! EDIT2: and via that first link, I think you can get to a full source code distribution compile-able with C on 32-bit Linux. Might have its own woes like LLVM hosting, but those might also be more solvable as part of a 64-bit port.
