Please note I am software dev, not a hardware guy, and I just got my first FPGA during holidays, and am just beginning to play with it.

> There is an answer on Stack Overflow regarding Chisel benefits, it is just embarrassing [1].

I don't understand what is embarrassing about the answer ? As a software guy above answer make sense. Some problems you want to use C (or similar) for and some problems you want to use scripting language for, and then again sometimes the right tool is erlang, rust or go-lang ...

But like I said, that's my software guy perspective, so I am wondering what I missed?
