That's a strange reason for not wanting to reap the benefits of Chisel. Care to explain your rationale?

There is another compile-to-HDL "language" called SpinalHDL[1], so I would actually argue that Scala's metaprogramming features seem to be a good fit for this usecase.

Rust has extensive metaprogramming features as well, so hopefully we'll be able to build a comparable framework starting from that.


I love Rust just as much as the next guy, but not everything needs to be rewritten in Rust...
