Doesn't VHDL have good support for libraries? VHDL packages and subfunctions can have generics (which I've not used) for library support similar to Ada. VHDL entities can also have generics (which I have used). I was wondering what was lacking and needs extending/fixing in VHDL.

Hardware generator frameworks allow you to use a full-powered modern software language to control generation of hardware. Think about why it may be easier to implement something in Python than C. Adding capabilities to VHDL/SystemVerilog is very difficult since many vendors and tools have to implement it, and if any of them don't support it the whole feature can't be used.
