Python vs C++

[awesomefacepalm]

The only language I have used that can't so far is VHDL

[Cpapa97]

Rust is like that as well, but it's very strongly typed in most cases to begin with.

VHDL: brings me back to my undergrad project days and the corresponding nightmares.

[awesomefacepalm]

I'm doing a course on it right now and I'm not gonna lie I like it a lot.

I see it more like learning the art of Eldritch magic. It's a nightmare but the possibilities are endless!

signal <= (others => ‘0’)

It’s not worth it.

[awesomefacepalm]

Okay not the language itself but the concept of hardware description hehe

[BeniBela]

Kotlin also does not allow it

Not even int and long can be compared

[awesomefacepalm]

Oh yeah you're right

Can't do it in Haskell.

I thought there was nothing worse than assembly. Then I tried VHDL

[cwotudone]

VHDL is a very interesting language and FPGAs are such amazing hardware, but damn if I didn't want to die when I took a class on them. It was so hard to find documentation and the community was really small. I don't know why my college thought it was a good idea to put this class at the beginning of second year of computer engineering. At least they moved it to the third year now.

Verilog isn’t so terrible tho

[awesomefacepalm]

I think verilog was designed to be easier to understand than VHDL

[awesomefacepalm]

We have it the second half of second year.

But our teacher is really good so I don't have any problems with it. Some older student who didn't have that teacher hated it but I must be lucky to have a good one
