VHDL mostly lost the ASIC consumer market and for some that's the only market that matters, but the hardware design ecosystem is much bigger than that. I wonder what AI will do to RTL/verification, the rigid nature of VHDL may be a better target for AI than Verilog. | ||

If AI does anything to the EDA space, I hope it helps break the chokehold the "big 3" have on tooling. Any startup that threatens their dominance gets acquired and disappeared. I also hope this is coming anyway (see e.g.: KiCad nipping at Altium's heels, and Verilator's recent progress). There is just so much more to do, though... | ||
