His experiences with Verilog reminds me of when I worked with a huge and
overly complex Java application in the Eclipse IDE. The only way to find
out what was going on in the program was to run the debugger which was
very unstable and slow. Compilation took forever.

I wonder what the audience thought about his speech.
