Verilog is like the code-world equivalent of drawing a circuit board - but in text! It is primarily used to describe and simulate digital circuits, from small components to massive systems-on-chip. If you’ve ever dreamed of building your own processor (hello, DIY RISC-V!), Verilog is one of the common paths to take.

What makes Verilog especially exciting is that you don’t just think “how do I solve the problem?”, but also “how do signals flow?” (well, almost). You don’t write programs that run sequentially; you design logic that can occur in parallel - just like real hardware. It’s a bit like moving from directing an orchestra to building the instruments yourself.

So if you enjoy being close to the hardware and want your code to literally become circuits, Verilog is a language worth checking out!
