This looks awwwwfully nonfree...


In what sense? Target is an FPGA, so the point strikes me as moot.


Investing time in writing your complex code in their Go dialect may leave you in shackles and at the mercy of their pricing plans.


I completely agree with your point.

To wit, pushing the performance of any FPGA with <insert_favorite_hdl_here> will inevitably result in a high degree of technical debt and/or vendor lock-in, e.g. instantiating device-specific hard IP.

At the end of the day, we--as developers--aren't quite at that point where we can have our cake and eat it too, making this solution yet another product lifecycle trade-off decision.
