16 years agoI expressed just my private opinion. I'm preferring VHDL, but also have been asked by a customer to contribute to a project maintained in Verilog. Apart from this, Altera IP is utilizing both languages, often mixed in a project. You need to handle both to understand it. This has been the case e.g. with the MAX II PFL controller reference design, I adapted it for a multiple FPGA enviroment.
I basically keep my opinion, that there is a rather close correspondence between Verilog and VHDL language constructs. I admit, that some Verilog syntax elements look confusing to a pure VHDL programmer, but you should be able to understand their meaning within a few hours. Some elements, that have been inherited from the C programming language should be known to an engineer anyway.
