Introduction

BHDL is a programming language embedded in racket. In addition to the language, the system consists of a layout co-design system based on functional picture, REPL-driven interactive development and visualization, libraries, KiCAD compatible exporter, and placement engines including an optimization-based anlytical placer (ePlace) and simulated annealing based detailed placer.
