But, a fair chunk of code. Maybe there's little activity recently 
because they consider it done. I haven't committed to the 
majority of my github things for months, but I still stand by 
them.

Greetings

I am the lead developer of Vlang.

Vlang is still being actively worked on. We are not pushing in more recent
code into Github since the code requires Github HEAD version of DMD to
compile. We are using some metaprogramming features that are available only
with the development version of DMD.

You could push to a different branch ("develop" perhaps) and make 
a note in the readme (in both "master" and "develop") about the 
different DMD version requirements.

I am really sorry for the poor webpage. We are actively working on that
front, but progress is slow since we need to give priority to customer
projects. We are an unfunded startup in India and provide chip verification
services for surviving.

Unlike mainstream software, it requires a lot of effort to get hardware
guys interested in software. But we believe (and have demonstrated) that
Vlang has certain advantages over commercial chip verification languages.
And we continue to develop it further to gain more advantage. We expect to
push in more code into Github once DMD 2.068 gets released.

Thanks Andrei.

And thanks again to Walter, yourself, Kenji and other developers who
together made D a wonderful language.

It's amazing when you think there was such a push-back against 
UDAs when they were introduced, and here they are, being 
incredibly useful in all sorts of description task.

There was pushback on ADU, there was pushback on the way they are 
specified, and considering half the doc about UDA is antipattern, 
there is hard data to show that this pushback was justified.

ADU as in Attribute Defined User, obviously :/

some of you might know it, some of you might not but bernard

It's more or less a fork of SDC so feature-wise and syntax-wise Volt 
and D overlap quite a bit.
Also Tango folks forked D1 to create Amber -

actively developed right now)

It seems Vlang appeared silent for a while. Puneet was very busy 
with core simulator and I was not able to help him. Now I suppose 
I will have some time for a while and i need to start working on 
vlang.

In any caese neither Puneet nor me are professional EDA 
designers, we are more users. We really need a community around 
vlang so that our future ideas can be on able hands. Why not 
joining us? for many of upu eda will possibly a new domain.
