Really out there, but we use verilog to design and test simple genetic circuits: https://github.com/CIDARLAB/cello
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.
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.
