There are all sorts of developments happening in the area of FPGA
development.

One thing that has been available for a while is LabView FPGA-accelerated
applications.

I used Handle-C when it came out - developing FPGA code in a C-like
‘language’. The difference being that what has been ‘coded’ really spits
out an FPGA bitstream and your ‘code’ executes on the hardware in logic
(parallel) rather than sequentially by a CPU.

Not heard specifically about Python though, so thanks for the link...
