A clarification: I support Peter's view on keeping the existing process
notion even for dynamic processes, but not necessarily the SUAVE approach
of which I know too little to have an opinion.
I followed the OOVHDL discussions a couple of years ago, and did read
"both" proposals, but I didn't participate in the voting and don't
remember too much about them. :-)
Fork/join is IMHO sufficient for many uses, but a better mechanism would
of course be preferred, as long as it is kept simple and easy to use. VHDL
is already a pretty complex language (too complex in many people's eyes)
and we should try to not deter anyone from using it. Let's try to keep
it simple and as coherent with the rest of the language as possible.
Regards,
Jonas
