Dear Alex,
first I disagree with your statement "VHDL has all the features of
C".
Apart from reading and writing sequential text files the I/O features
of VHDL, at least the portable ones, are very limited.
Correction : the I/O is part of the C library, not the language itself.
There is however a few limitations, intended but that I don't accept,
like the inability to make boolean operations on the integer type in
VHDL.
So I made this, thanks to GHDL and VHPI :

Furthermore Ada and C have been created for different purposes,
and each does its own quite well. C is adapted to low-level trickery,
VHDL for high level description. VHPI makes them cohabit and some
great results, with both low and high level, can appear.
And I wanted to add that Pascal is nice too, and Turbo Pascal kicked
ass
(how I wish there was an equivalent under Linux !
but the GCC hegemony makes it unlikely)
