(Hi Pedro!)

Maybe nitpicking, but languages like Chisel and MyHDL aren't really HLS. Here there is a straight-forward mapping between the written language and the rendered result, and there should be little surprise in what logic is actually generated.

I am convinced that some specimen of this class of languages will eventually overtake verilog. One feature I'm eagerly waiting for is an equivalent of Option/Maybe types, which makes it impossible to access some signals unless they are signaled as valid by a qualifier signal.

I'm curious about what improvements you would like to see in SystemVerilog?
