Handel-C is a high-level programming language which targets low-level hardware, most commonly used in the programming of FPGAs.

Handel-C is to hardware design what the first high-level programming languages were to programming CPUs. Read more on Wikipedia...


Example from Wikipedia:
int a; void main(void) { int b; /* "a" and "b" are within scope */ { int c; /* "a", "b" and "c" are within scope */ } { int d; /* "a", "b" and "d" are within scope */ } }
