MyHDL is exactly the same kind of a eDSL as Chisel. And you have a full control of what it generates, see the examples.

If it's Python, it's not a DSL by definition.

Since you don't seem interested in addressing just one issue(I'm sure I could come up with more) around state machines I don't see any reason in continuing this discussion.

Scala is not any better. It's exactly the same kind of a eDSL - no macros, nothing, just generating objects in runtime and then serialising this tree into a Verilog code. Nothing fancy.

What state machines?!? It does not have any more features for defining FSMs than an underlying Verilog.
