AFAIK, creating latches is just as easy in Verilog as in VHDL. They use the same model to determine when to create one.

But with a solid design flow (which should include linting tools like Spyglass for both VHDL and Verilog), it’s not a major concern.

SystemVerilog basically fixes this with always_comb vs always_latch.

There's no major implementation which doesn't handle warning or even failing the flow on accidental latch logic inside an always_comb.
