VHDL vs Verilog

Started by whygee February 12, 2010
hi,

recently I read a quote about VHDL vs Verilog,
along the lines of "VHDL is made by SW people who
don't understand HW and vice versa"...

Does anybody know the exact wording and origin ?

FFS, don't we have enough wasted bandwidth bickering over bypass networks? Every hardware engineer _knows_ VHDL is better, but would rather kill their mother (if they knew who she was) than admit it. Now take your thinly disguised troll post and piss off... ...to comp.lang.vhdl where you will find polite software people. Ask for Jonathan, Mike and KJ. Tell them I sent you. With special love, Syms. xx p.s. http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=vhdl&word2=verilog

Just ignore the troll. I'd like to get an answer to your question. Rick

I have no shame to admit that I like VHDL (well, it's more a love/hate stuff, considering some aspects), but I know that Verilog exists, and I accept that others like it instead. The phrase that I partly remember summed up many things about the divergences between these two major HDL.

it's not a troll, it's an informal research for a paper. I just wanted to know where the humor I read somewhere (here ?) comes from. Is it attributed ?

does THAT exist ?

hehe :-) no thanks, I post here because FPGA are not tied to one langage, so there are people here who know both HDLs.

hmmm "special love" is for tomorrow, feb.14th :-)

I did not know that I would trigger so many strong reactions, you know, it's just a reference check for a paper, I have no intention to start a vi vs emacs^W^W^Wnother pointless flamewar. regards,

Right, that's it, but the epithet has been around far longer than that post. -- Jonathan Bromley whose location in the three-dimensional space rude<->polite VHDL<->Veriiog software<->hardware continues to vary strongly as a function of weather, my employer's demands, what's cool, and other factors.

That's a quote by someone who doesn't understand VHDL.
