title: What benefits does Chisel offer over classic Hardware Description Languages?
body: <p>Chisel is an alternative to classic Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) like Verilog and VHDL. My experience with Verilog and its existing prevalence in both industry and academia indicate that it is a well-developed mature language.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone who has used Chisel for some time share your experiences and help to explain Chisel's utility over classic HDLs?</p>
  
  <p>My experiences so far, as an undergraduate IC design student, include:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Verilog is dominant in industry and has wide simulation support</li>
  <li>Chisel does not support all constructs Verilog does, e.g., analog elements</li>
  <li>Chisel parameterization provides equivalent capabilities to Verilog</li>
  </ul>
