handel-c or vhdl
What's your tought on Handel-C and SystemC versus VHDL and Verilog? Do you think they could make VHDL and Verilog disappear?
Me, I think that because of languages like that, software engineers might decide that they "know how to do ASICs and FPGAs" simply because they could design them with a language that looks like C and C++.
Don't get me wrong, languages like that are usefull for validating algorythms and quick prototyping, but you still need to have a strong hardware knowledge. So while managers might think that software engineers could do our a job, I don't think it will ever be the case...
