Do you like Ada? VHDL. In all other cases, Verilog (preferably SystemVerilog).

There are good open source tools for Verilog (incl. of course my Yosys :). SystemVerilog not so much.

And even with the commercial tools the set of SystemVerilog features supported varies wildly.

They're getting good at the RTL bits these days. always_ff, always_comb, structs, unions, enums all very useful.

Unfortunately the SystemVerilog standard doesn't bother defining which bits are synthesizable..

I think in the long run Verilog will have a more "assembly like" role in most flows. Verilog is absolutely sufficient for that role.

Maybe. I feel someone needs to invent Verilog DWARF first so waveform viewers can annotate actual source.

I think a small standard subset of Verilog + select features from SV would be very useful.
