For people who are curious about FPGAs looking to dip their toes in, I’d highly recommend taking a look at cocotb https://github.com/cocotb/cocotb

It’s kind of similar to verilator, in that it lets you write test benches for your designs in programming languages as opposed to HDL. Whereas verilator lets you write c++, cocotb is python based.

Both of these are probably best to take up after spending some time with an hdl, so you learn to think from a hardware perspective.
