# CλaSH - A functional hardware description language
CλaSH (pronounced ‘clash’) is a functional hardware description language that
borrows both its syntax and semantics from the functional programming language
Haskell. The CλaSH compiler transforms these high-level descriptions to
low-level synthesizable VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
Features of CλaSH:
* Strongly typed (like VHDL), yet with a very high degree of type inference,
which enables both safe and fast prototying using consise descriptions (like
Verilog)
* Interactive REPL: load your designs in an interpreter and easily test all
your component without needing to setup a test bench.
* Higher-order functions, with type inference, result in designs that are
fully parametric by default.
* Synchronous sequential circuit design based on streams of values, called
`Signal`s.
* Support for multiple clock domains, with type safe clock domain crossing.
