1. Electronics/semiconductors 2. Moore's law is loosing stream and complexity is exploding. Turn around times are increasing in everything. This includes runtime for all of our software tools as well as physical processes such as getting chips back from the fab. Vendors are not keeping up. Productivity is suffering.

3. SystemVerilog is not really at the right abstraction level and still has many of the problems that face Verilog. It is sort of what C++ is to C and what I need is more the equivalent to rust.

Look at Caisson HDL. You think that's in right ballpark?

I saw in some other thread that every programmer looks at making a better verilog, when having a better understanding of electronics would help them be more productive.

That's true, but those who do have a good understanding of electronics still want better tools than Verilog.
