Coming from a software background, the testing strategies available in Verilog seem very clunky and overly verbose. In comparison, Hardcaml's ASCII waveform expect-test solution feels extremely elegant and simple: https://blog.janestreet.com/using-ascii-waveforms-to-test-ha....

That's probably more of a gap in my education than a fault of the ecosystem then.

Among other qualities, I prefer languages that let fewer mistakes slip through, and allow the developer to focus on the system they intend to build rather than avoiding bugs/misunderstandings that would be easy to catch otherwise. You bring up a lot of really good points, and I suspect that if we were doing Verilog "the right way", we would have probably run into fewer issues. But at the end of the day, developing in Hardcaml was a much more ergonomic experience: testing was straightforward, most "stupid mistakes" were impossible, setup was pretty easy, and the library provided a lot of really useful abstractions. For example, Hardcaml interfaces make it easy to represent practically any data structure that can be serialized to/from a bit vector, and the Always API allows for some pretty interesting non-trivial functional logic.
