Clash

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 Clash project is a Haskell Foundation affiliated project. Clash is built on Haskell which provides an excellent foundation for well-typed code. Together with Clash's standard library it is easy to build scalable and reusable hardware designs. Load your designs in an interpreter and easily test all your component without needing to setup a test bench. Although Clash offers many features, you sometimes need to directly access VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog directly.
