• amaranth

  7 1,585 9.5 Python

  A modern hardware definition language and toolchain based on Python

  

  He probably meant Amaranth.

• pymtl3

  5 388 3.1 Python

  Pymtl 3 (Mamba), an open-source Python-based hardware generation, simulation, and verification framework

  

  Also PyMTL, PyRTL, and MyHDL.

• myhdl

  15 1,051 5.2 Python

  The MyHDL development repository

  

  Also PyMTL, PyRTL, and MyHDL.

• SpinalHDL

  8 1,679 9.8 Scala

  Scala based HDL

  

  Don’t forget SpinalHDL that was forked off of Chisel 2 I believe. These DSLs really leveraged the software features of Scala to help build generalised/modular systems. And are generally a quality of life improvement in the language features available.
