Clash is a functional hardware description language that borrows both its syntax and semantics from the functional programming language Haskell. It provides a familiar structural design approach to both combinational and synchronous sequential circuits. The Clash compiler transforms these high-level descriptions to low-level synthesizable VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog. Clash is an open-source project, licensed under the permissive BSD2 license, and actively maintained by QBayLogic. The...

...Its design encourages highly isolated services—each VM does one job—making it attractive for security-sensitive components and research on microservice-style architectures. Developers get to keep Haskell’s strong typing, concurrency abstractions, and functional style while targeting bare virtual hardware. Although device support is intentionally narrow compared to general-purpose OSes, the trade-off is predictability and very small, auditable deployments.
