I guess this appears to be a more general question. I've seen that many people are using chisel for their ~HLS~ HDL, is there a similar effort towards using bluespec or a reason why people have been gravitating to one over the other?

chisel is even more abstracted than bluespec-verilog

and since it's built upon scala, it's very easy to extend and use object-oriented (and sometimes functional) design principles to make it easy to compose large designs

plus the large ecosystem of chisel-based designs coming out of UC Berkeley helps a lot too

gotcha, when I looked at the flow it seemed to make doing hand-layouts a lot harder but I guess if you're mostly automated that would make a lot of sense. Thanks!
