Honored ContributorAHDL, VHDL or Verilog?

Honored ContributorAHDL is proprietory and is not supported by anything other than quartus, so no simulation is possible.
VHDL is strongly typed, so many problems can be picked up at compile stage and linting is not really required, but some people seem to find it tough to learn. Verilog is more C-like, and allows you to get away with more, but can lead to some more annoying debugging.
