It seems that for some guys the goal is to prove that all sort of problems should be re-solved from scratch using Javascript, for some other that will be Python, etc.

Although for many years I've been a huge fan of Ruby language (at least until recently), it never even crossed my mind to spend any time trying to turn Ruby into a HDL, or a kind of a frontend for other HDL generation. Or looking if someone else spent his time doing it. I don't know. Probably I've grown out of (re)doing things just because they can be (re)done.

Besides - from my experience it's not the (V)HDL that is hard on the PLD designing/programming. It's the underlying principles that need to be understood and mastered into a "mindset". Especially once something more than a few combinatorial equations are to be put into the device or a single-clocked gazillionth "blinky" implementation is everything you aim at.

Then comes working around all the quirks of the toolchain you're bound to use for a particular device you target, etc..
