• About 40,000 engineers currently use schematics alone for programmable-logic-design entry Most engineers will be switching to HDL-based tools over the next few years. In 1996, about 12,000 design engineers used HDLs for at least part of their design, a number that will swell to about 67,000 by 1999, according to the forcast. (by Dataquest; Computer design Oct. 1996 pp. 69).
