+Migen (Milkymist generator)
+
+A Python toolbox for building complex digital hardware.
+
+The Migen FHDL library replaces the event-driven paradigm with the
+notions of combinatorial and synchronous statements, has arithmetic
+rules that make integers always behave like mathematical integers, and
+most importantly allows the design's logic to be constructed by a
+Python program. This last point enables hardware designers to take
+advantage of the richness of the Python language - object oriented
+programming, function parameters, generators, operator overloading,
+libraries, etc. - to build well organized, reusable and elegant
+designs.
