haskell VS clash-ghc

I am working the Exercism Haskell Track and one of the questions asks for a custom set implementation. I studied some community solutions to see what other folks are doing, and came across something that I don't quite understand.

Starting today, I'll resume solving exercises in Exercism, focusing on my Python and Haskell tracks.

I did see https://exercism.org/tracks/haskell , as well, but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for and I won't know until I make an account. I'd rather not make an account unless it actually provides what I'm looking for.

"Best" solution here: https://github.com/exercism/haskell/blob/main/exercises/practice/acronym/.meta/examples/success-text/src/Acronym.hs

Haskell is a really interesting language, and if you're comfortable with Scheme from 61a then many of the concepts carry over. However, Haskell has a pretty steep learning curve (in comparison to Clojure which is much closer to Scheme). I've been using https://exercism.org/tracks/haskell and been finding it fun so far.

To explore this space I created an Exercism exercise called dnd-character.

> You'd be better off with a higher-level or more modern HDL that compiles to Verilog/VHDL. "Chisel" is one such.

As is Clash :) https://clash-lang.org/

You can take a look at https://clash-lang.org/. There is also a book for it. https://gergo.erdi.hu/retroclash/

I don't know much about FPGAs, but Clash lang compiles to VHDL, and might do the trick: https://clash-lang.org

if you need inspiration there is a full UART core available in clash: https://github.com/clash-lang/clash-compiler/blob/master/clash-cores/src/Clash/Cores/UART.hs

Perhaps peripheral (the original site has been hugged to death).

Both clashlang: https://clash-lang.org/

And Hardcaml: https://github.com/janestreet/hardcaml

have personally fueled my interest in hardware.

Dan Luu speaks eloquently and at length about how better options are needed for logic design. I would recommend both of the above to the enthusiastic novice.
