Honored ContributorIf my company insisted on AHDL, Id find a new job. Its deprecated and altera dont even recommend it.
No one uses it. Its a dead language. It was written to fit with old technologies, and now that technology has moved on, so features of AHDL dont map directly to the elemtary parts in FPGAs any more. Basically - forget AHDL - you wont be very employable. It cannot be simulated and cannot be easily ported to Xilinx.
