I've been wondering how long it'd take for it to show up here. I can attest to Frans (the lead dev) being a talented and highly active developer. It's frankly quite intimidating to be a competitor of his. (https://sus.rocks)

Hopefully one day we'll break open the hardware design ecosystem. Verilog & VHDL still being de-facto industry standard is pathetic. And IMO the only reason is the white-knuckle grip Intel (Altera again?) and Xilinx have over what languages are accepted by their respective proprietary design tools.

Hehe thanks for the kind words! I think once Verilog and VHDL are de-throned there will be plenty of room for more than one new HDL :) Especially if we can figure out interoperability between languages
