VHDL on the other hand seems weird to me. YMMY. I personally found both Verilog and C very weird, with my software engineering background. VHDL on the other hand seems much better designed, like Modula-2. YMMV. - Brian

The studies I have seen were on $$$ spent on EDA tools which seems to show that people pay more money for Verilog tools. Some liked Verilog bigots liked to imply this correlated to users. For a rough order of measure of users, I look at Monster and based on rough data (not removing VHDL companies advertising also for Verilog coders and vice versa), there is a even split of VHDL and Verilog in the US market. Do you have a more accurate measure? Cheers, Jim______________________________

Michael, You might consider the industry you are interested in and research the companies that you may wish to work for and see what they use. This will give you the best idea as to which to learn first. Cheers, Jim > Howdy - I'm just beginning with FPGAs. I am using a Spartan 3E Starter > Kit with Xilinx ISE.
