wrote a pair of PLSE blog posts explaining the basics of Verilog syntax (post 1) and semantics (post 2) for a PL audience: syntax: uwplse.org/2024/02/19/verilo… semantics: uwplse.org/2024/07/22/verilo… feedback welcome! from a PL perspective, Verilog is fascinating.

by the way -- both Andrew (ninehusky.github.io/) and Vishal (vcanumalla.github.io/) are applying for PhDs this year. it's been a joy to work with them both over the past few years, and they will both make stellar PhD students. be on the lookout for their applications!
