## What it is
A curated awesome-list of hardware description language (HDL) projects, covering Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog, Chisel, and other HDLs. It links to standards documents, simulators, compilers, synthesis tools, and HDL libraries.

## Use cases
- find a Verilog simulator
- discover VHDL compiler and simulator tools
- learn hardware description language standards
- find HDL libraries for FPGAs
- explore functional HDLs like Clash and Bluespec
- find RTL synthesis tools like Yosys

## When to choose
- you are starting with FPGA or ASIC development and need an overview of the HDL ecosystem
- you want a curated index of HDL tools, simulators, and libraries

## When to avoid
- you need an actual HDL tool rather than a list of links
- you need detailed tutorials rather than a curated link collection

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: hardware, awesome-lists, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, hdl, verilog, vhdl, fpga, hardware-description-languages, curated-list
