Why a new list of awesome HDL tools? #24

Closed Paebbels closed 2 years ago

Paebbels commented 2 years ago

Hello Andreas,

there is already an awesome list for HDL and hardware. Why have you created a new list?

We already merge multiple private lists to create one for the greater good. It's hosted by the HDL GitHub organization.

GitHub: https://github.com/hdl/awesome Website: https://hdl.github.io/awesome/items/

Why? If you look at the list, you will see there is significant content in there that is not in your list. It was easier for me to start my own repo (~3hrs total). Free will is great! This is why we have Verilog and VHDL. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

The hdl awesome list is cited at the bottom of this one

IMHO, the target is different. hdl/awesome is an index of projects, while this one is a list of repositories. The volume of information available in hdl/awesome is more complete by several orders, which does also require more effort to update/maintain. Therefore, hdl/awesome is meant for people to learn and know, while this list is for people to find.

Nevertheless, should you find items in this list which are missing in hdl/awesome, contributions are very welcome!
