www.haskell.org VS clash-ghc

Haskell - a general-purpose functional language with many unique properties (purely functional, lazy, expressive types, STM, etc). You mentioned you dabbled in Haskell, why not try it again? (I've written about 7 things I learned from Haskell, and my book is linked at them bottom if you're interested :) )

Where you go is entirely up to you. According to haskell.org, Haskell jobs are a-plenty. sigh

✨ Supported by http://haskell.org

Btw here is the repo I am talking about: https://github.com/haskell-infra/www.haskell.org .

I just jumped into the wiki "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 hours" which looks pretty good. (although some of the text explanation is hard to understand without context).. I used cabal to set up the starter project. Sublime editor seems to work OK and I just use the git Bash shell on windows to compile the program directly on the command line. So maybe this is all good enough for now (?). It seems installing it from haskell.org with ghcup was more straight forward than I thought.

We made or are making some (small for now) contributions to projects like Cabal and haskell.org, and we hope to ramp it up as time goes.

Maths 2 exists qnd it's called Haskell

Yeah, definitely. We're working on adding a guide[1] like that to haskell.org as we speak :)

If you have a chance, you could look over the PR and tell me whether this is roughly what you're thinking of.

p.s. I am also working on a PR for haskell.org that would hopefully make the webpage a bit more friendly for newcomers, also focused on clearly outlining the journey to get started with Haskell easily. It is not as opinionated as this blog post, but it still tried to make things a bit more straightforward: https://github.com/Martinsos/www.haskell.org/compare/master...Martinsos:www.haskell.org:getting-started .

Done

> 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.
