Chisel: Constructing Hardware in a Scala Embedded Language

This is not something new, Chisel is fairly mature by now. Chisel was made by the same people who created RISCV based rocket chip. In fact rocket chip is written using Chisel

In addition, Chisel is now being used industrially at SiFive and Esperanto Technologies to help design SoCs around RISC-V.

On this talk : - https://youtu.be/f-b4QOzMyfU?t=300 - https://youtu.be/f-b4QOzMyfU?t=492 => yes and no

The industry lack's of wide profiles (hardware engineer with good software understanding) is really hurting any new innovative HDL

Yeah, just saw that by chance last night. Darn shame.

For what it's worth, I don't thin Chisel is really standardizable as it stands, but something like it could be.
