Yep, it is called HDL for a reason. Although it looks and feels like 
programming, it is quite different and requires a different approach. I can 
always tell the people who think 'hardware' or 'software' from the way they 
code their HDL. I think that for most people coming from the software domain, 
it takes a while before we can start to think hardware while coding software.
