Ha!

I wrote something like that long time ago: https://github.com/thesz/hhdl (even before clash)

I had some translation algorithm from pure Haskell code to the HHDL internals. I even wrote MIPS clone using it (and it was simulated OKly).

There's just no market for that.

Cool! But note that Clash is actually compiling Haskell (i.e. analogous to GHCJS or something), rather than being an EDSL.

I'm hoping (as is the author with http://qbaylogic.nl/) that the market for FPGA soft(?)ware will suck less. Best case it pushes pressure on the fabs for ASICs, but we'll see.
