The link doesn&#x27;t really give very much information, but from the tutorial (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;embeddedmicro.com&#x2F;tutorials&#x2F;lucid" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;embeddedmicro.com&#x2F;tutorials&#x2F;lucid</a>) it looks like a skin of Verilog. What&#x27;s the advantage of using this over a more modern HDL like Chisel?

This language looks like it attempted to solve a number of issues from the old verilog days, but wound up reinventing a very very small subset of system verilog instead of inventing something new.<p><pre><code> arrays in lucid = system verilog arrays &quot;fsm&quot; = basically system verilog enums and a little helper logic &quot;connectors&quot; = system verilog interfaces</code></pre> etc etc.<p>Its definitely better to go where the tool support is. With system verilog you get a lot of nice verification: constrained randomization, built in process synchronization, support for differentiated test bench vs dut, assertions, complex coverage metrics.
