[sdiy] FPGAs, VHDL or Verilog and why?

[Eric Brombaugh]

Oh - there's a "food fight" question if ever. I'll try to be diplomatic:

I use both VHDL and Verilog professionally. Given a choice I go with 
Verilog without hesitation. Much more concise and "C-like". Never much 
cared for the strong typing and verbosity of VHDL. If you like Pascal, 
ADA, etc. then you might like VHDL though. If you like typing large 
source files you also might like VHDL better than Verilog. :P
