As I mentioned in my other comment Verilog and VHDL are "concurrent by default" since that's how hardware works anyway.

If you want to experiment with them you don't need an FPGA, you can just start with a simulator such as Icarus Verilog[1] and a waveform viewer like gtkwave[2] and get a feel of the language. There are a bunch of tutorials on the net.

Verilog is Turing complete and can do standard IO, so you probably don't even need a simulator/wave viewer.


Yeah, but using waveforms is half the fun! :)

Also, debugging verilog using only $display doesn't sound very fun...


http://www.edaplayground.com/ is a great way to play with hardware description languages too. You don't need to install anything.
