    Chisel: A Modern Hardware Design Language (by chipsalliance)

    I would check out Chisel, https://www.chisel-lang.org/ . It's a hardware construction language that outputs synthesizable Verilog and leverages a lot of modern programming paradigms. It was developed by Berkeley as they were creating the RISC-V ISA. Like others have said the industry is slow to change but I've seen some adoption of it in commercial and govt. Plus SiFive is doing quite well with it.

  • clash-ghc

    Haskell to VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog compiler

    There's Clash, which isn't widely used, but is awesome. That said, I come from a traditional software background and have only had to use HDLs for minor tweaks at work. I wonder how the learning curve would be for Firmware Engineers.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
