It doesn't sound like you are iterating on this. Look at the code you are not happy with. What is wrong? Can you fix it? If so, try to do those things next time. Don't stop the process.

>The FPGA also lacks an open-source (or even shared-source) toolchain, I think this point is overstated. FPGAs are not microprocessors. I don't think an OSS toolchain would be anywhere near as beneficial as something like gcc. It wo
