Why are there only 3 languages for FPGA development?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/FPGA

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • For those who would like to see additional features / simplifications in VHDL, the working group accepts issues at: https://gitlab.com/IEEE-P1076/VHDL-Issues/-/issues

  • amaranth

    A modern hardware definition language and toolchain based on Python

    He probably meant Amaranth.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • pymtl3

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

    Also PyMTL, PyRTL, and MyHDL.

  • myhdl

    The MyHDL development repository

    Also PyMTL, PyRTL, and MyHDL.

  • SpinalHDL

    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.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

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.
