[myhdl-list] Status update

[Jan D. <ja...@ja...>]

Hello:

I haven't been able to track all recent activity here for two reasons.

First, in the past months I have been working intensively on a very
interesting design project (also involving MyHDL).

Second, I have not yet given up on APP :-) and I have given it
a lot of attention.

The project has been taped-out now. I'm preparing for a new one
(also involving MyHDL) but there will be some time left to make
progress on MyHDL itself. I will start by catching up with the
posts here.

Regarding APP, I not really happy with how it works out so far.
Consider my last post:

http://www.programmableplanet.com/author.asp?section_id=2438&doc_id=252295

It think it makes a strong and clear case for Python, but from the
response my feeling is people still just don't get it, or are
not willing to get it. For example, I spent a lot of effort
in the comment section, not show to why Python is good choice
to write reference models, but why reference models are a
good idea in the first place. And apparently I didn't succeed!
It's just so tiresome at times.

Anyway, I have an even stronger post ready, and we'll see.

Jan
