A recent _Electronics_ magazine had a feature on silicon compilers. They remark that generic silicon compilers may be supplanted by proprietary silicon compilers owned by the foundry. I wonder if something like the evolution of programming languages is not reoccurring? Didn't programming languages go through a phase where every manufacturer had their own, private, set of languages, supposed to set them apart and lock customers in? If the same thing is happening to silicon compilers, when can we expect to see a return to industry-wide languages, and who is going to fund the Silicon COBOL? Andy "Krazy" Glew. Gould CSD-Urbana.
