PSHDL is incredibly low-level & basic, afaik it doesn't even have functions & you can't define your own datatypes. I think it's a mistake to make a HDL language

PSHDL is incredibly low-level & basic, afaik it doesn't even have functions & you can't define your own datatypes. I think it's a mistake to make a HDL language that aims to be 99% synthesize-able. I didn't write this but I do agree with it: http://www.jandecaluwe.com/blog/its-a-simulation-language.html http://www.jandecaluwe.com/blog/its-a-simulation-language.ht... I haven't looked a chisel yet (scala is my favorite software programming language though).
