Well, I am not sure about that. If GHDL were written in C or C++, maybe it wouldn't work yet :-) If you know VHDL a little bit (and I assume you know it), then Ada should be rather familiar. I agree that C and C++ are well known and well spread, but Ada can be easily interfaced with other languages (just see that in GHDL: a few parts are written in C or asm). > But GHDL has about 100k line of code.

Interesting idea... Tristan. _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
