What is your opinion on XilinX FORCE?
I was a beta tester and I was able to do nested for..each loops, besically
just about everything Java supports.

You could write things like a Fibbonaci generator and have it running in the
FPGA in the time it takes to paste it from a Java file on the web and to
compile & send a netlist.

One of the reasons I sold the FPGA PCI board was that I only had a Beta
licence for 1 month and after that I would have to pay 20,000 USD.
