# firrtl
Flexible Internal Representation for RTL
Description:
This repository contains the compiler for .firrtl files.
It is currently being developed in stanza, with the end-goal to translate into scala for ease of other people to use.
This decision was made for multiple reasons:
(1) previous development had already been done in stanza
(2) most of the passes are relatively language independent
(3) stanza is easier to develop in than scala bc less-strict type system
(4) as a favor, its useful to develop in stanza to give Patrick some language tips :)
The hardest part to port will likely be the parser, but we hope to use an scala parser for the port.
