As a hardware guy, I'm kind of fascinated by how many stories I've seen on HN recently on HDLs, and equally fascinated by how software people describe their mental model and thought processes when thinking about hardware design. It's neat to see how the structure of the problem space is fundamentally different, I think, to how a hardware guy sees it - which is not to say any less valid, and quite possibly becoming more valid.
But I also think that to do hardware design in VHDL or Verilog, you need to understand the underlying structures - latches, flip-flops, decoders, muxes, etc.

I'm enjoying this recent trend!
