NIOS in Verilog

Im trying to program the NIOS processor in Verilog. I know you can program it using either C or Assembly for Altera, but I am not a programmer and I am not good in either of them. I am a digital hard...

The point of using an embedded processor is to be able to load a sequentially executing set of instructions using a programming language (assembly, C, C++, ...) What was the original intent of using the NIOS processor?

BTW, if you know Verilog, C is not that different as far as syntax. The only thing is that you have to get used to things happening sequentially based on instructions... (at least until you start dealing with multiple embedded processors...)
