VHDL and Verilog are virtually no different from eachother. It's basically equivalent to ARM assembly vs MIPS assembly -- they are both machine-level assembly languages.

If you want something more interesting, see High Level Synthesis (aka C to RTL, SystemC, etc) [1]. But this is still very beta (and has been for over a decade), so it's almost unused in the industry on designs.

The majority of hardware design time is now dominated in the hardware verification space, aka SystemVerilog.
