A Hardware Description Language (HDL) comprising of a plurality of object commands, a plurality of compile commands and a plurality of comment styles is used in methods of electronic circuit design. An object command in the HDL defines a logic object, which can be as simple as a piece of wire or as complex as a priority-encoded arbitrator with a variable number of requesters. A Register Transfer Level (RTL) design in the HDL can be translated into a set of generic gates and instantiated library modules for design verification and synthesis. The design can also be translated to a target hardware description language such as Verilog-HDL or VHDL to feed into a conventional design flow.
