Slang Language Server: Accelerated, Reliable SystemVerilog Development

on YouTube ↗12m

" summary

Built on Slang and released as slang-server (github.com/hudson-trading/slang-server), the tool claims IDE-grade SystemVerilog features with real numbers: indexing thousands of Verilog/SystemVerilog files (tens of MB) in under 1s and OpenTitan in ~0.4s. It uses shallow compilation for per-file symbols to avoid full elaboration, provides diagnostics on every edit, supports macro-aware go-to/hover, and offers completions including module auto-fill with tab-through placeholders, member/package/hierarchical completions, a hierarchy/instances view and Surfer waveform integration with experimental driver/load control.
