BSV and BH, the Bluespec HLHDLs (High-Level Languages for Hardware Design), emerged from ideas in formal specification (Term Rewriting Systems), functional programming (Haskell), and automatic synthesis of RTL from specifications. BSV has been used in some major commercial ASIC designs and is used widely in FPGA projects. The BSV/BH compiler (written in Haskell) was open-sourced in 2020 (https://github.com/B-Lang-org/bsc) and today's projects are centered around RISC-V design and verification, and on accelerators.
