On a quest for the ideal HDL(s) for makers and hobbyists - Staf Verhaegen - ORConf 2019

With a software background I stumbled in the hardware 'programming' languages beginning of this decade. Since the beginning I had a love/hate relationship with the common RTL languages at best. In the beginning I thought it was just the normal rookie feeling and some persistence would solve it. After almost a decade I am convinced some fundamental shortcomings in the common RTL languages are holding back hardware development productivity and the usability by non-experts like makers. There is hope though, as I will also highlight some recent developments which in my opinion are a big step in the right direction. Presenter: Staf Verhaegen
