Cool to see another project using Chisel. Anyone in the industry know what direction things are moving in? Seems like Verilog and VHDL are ripe for disruption.

Cool to see another project using Chisel. Anyone in the industry know what direction things are moving in? Seems like Verilog and VHDL are ripe for disruption. I remember one of them as outright unpleasant from university.
- tinco 2y agoWhat has changed that they are now ripe for disruption? My BSc thesis supervisor runs a company that tries to disrupt Verilog and VHDL and they've been at it for well over a decade. I don't think they're making much of a dent yet but I didn't keep up with the space: https://github.com/clash-lang/clash-compiler https://github.com/clash-lang/clash-compiler. There's also a RISCV implementation written in it. All the tooling in this space is so expensive to build and expensive to verify, with such a small market that it seems almost impossible for something to ever challenge the incumbent ecosystems in a reasonable span of time.
