Re: language for fpga
Look, the task in hand is already difficult enough with existing tools using either VHDL or Verilog. Object oriented HDLs, System C and Hendel are not for newbies. Even the most experieced harware engineers tend to shy away from these newer technologies. The reason is simple, they know more about the existing problems with the toolset. The more abstract your design becomes, less control you would have on it. VHDL and Verilog at least give you some leverage on tailoring the design but the new software programming like languages have yet to settle and take their apposite place. Until that time we got the two major HDLs and we still need to learn the basics before we migrate to something fancy.
I fully concur, if you haven't designed hardware and you merely think in software domain, programmable loigc may not be the best thing to do for you. Gotta have hardware inclination.
