In addition to Chisel and SpinalHDL, BlueSpec is now open source! [0]

Among the available options, I remember people being very happy with BlueSpec even before, and now you don't really have many excuses.

Nice! I used it in college and took a liking to it, it was pretty easy to write a full multi core riscV processor with mmu/etc even as my first exposure to hardware design.

The compile times were killer though. Has much progress been made there?
