Hard to say, it depends on what you consider better. It certainly is more concise than the equivalent Verilog (just like Haskell is more concise than pretty much any language I know). This seems especially true when you want to describe repetitive structures (such as their FIR filter).

CλaSH also has a much better type system than Verilog (again, thanks to Haskell), but if you wanted a good type system when describing hardware, you might as well just switch to VHDL ^^

My concern is with the description of state machines. You need to specify if you want a Mealy or a Moore machine, something that is usually implicit. And you're still describing the transfer function between states; CλaSH does not seem to allow you to describe your program in a structured way (such as loop until x becomes true, wait for 3 cycles, read z, while z > 0 decrement z, etc.)
