Re: [oc] Has anybody won the lottery?

We looked at Celoxica too... My PhD CS guy thought it was a bit unlike C, 
even beyond the PAR instruction... Also one of the guys that writes the 
drivers for OpenBSD (Jason Wright) works for us and he too thought it was a 
bit limiting for $$$...

I was quoted 35K or 70K for two seats, this is a one year license. I was told 
the maintenance was 25K...

What ever happened to the high level language that was talked about a few 
years ago - I think they called it Rosetta or something? It was supposed to 
be a high level code that would allow in-line Verilog (I think) for hardware 
development?
