   Title states it all I have posted this questions every month for the last
   4, no answer.  Assistance would be kind.  Is it a hardware description
   langauge?

It is a programming language developed at MIT.  Here are some of the
important features --

	* Strong static type checking
	* Abstract data types with encapsulation
	* Exception handling
	* Parameterized types (sort of like C++ templates, but IMHO
	  done much better).
	* Garbage collection
	* Heap allocation for all objects

CLU is used in the software engineering and compiler construction
courses taught at MIT to undergraduates.
