VHDL

VHDL (IEEE 1076-2000) enjoys a similar position to Verilog in several geographic and industry segments. While its precise semantics and higher level abstraction appeal to some, it has never fully realized its potential largely because of the lack of gate-level support. VHDL will remain the language of choice for many designers due to its capabilities and legacy.
