Wyre - an HDL that compiles to verilog

[BigEd]

Might be of interest - another effort to improve on verilog

Compared to Verilog, Wyre aims to cut down on verbosity, reduce errors (via strong typing) and improve design iteration speed. Wyre compiles to Verilog, so any design can be fed through an existing Verilog-based toolchain.

Another interesting language is Silice - https://github.com/sylefeb/Silice

There are interesting things being done with that on the ulx3s and iCEBreaker boards.
