	The 'V' in VHDL once refered to VHISIC, which was, IIRC, an acronymn for Very High Speed Integrated Circuit. I haven't heard it used lately, or, in fact, for at least a decade, yet there it is. The VHISIC project was a initially military project, though commercial industry stood to gain much more than did the military. RE

Verilog or VHDL?              01/01/70 00:00
   maybe somewhat unrelated              01/01/70 00:00
      How very true!              01/01/70 00:00
   not so simple answer              01/01/70 00:00
   Verilog is easier to learn              01/01/70 00:00

            Yes ... VHDL was still pretty mysterious then ...              01/01/70 00:00
            "widely used" should also be qualified              01/01/70 00:00
