"VHDL-2008 adds important language enhancements for verification and design engineers. As a VHDL user and trainer, it is exciting to have Aldec announce VHDL-2008 support. Thanks to Aldec for bringing the hard work of the IEEE and Accellera working groups to the VHDL user community," said Jim Lewis, VHDL IEEE Chairperson and Founder of SynthWorks."

Now it is a pleasure to see virtually all those issues eliminated in the new version of the standard, with some extra improvements and clarifications," commented Jaroslaw Kaczynski, Research Engineer, Aldec, Inc.
