Integer arithmetic in hardware descriptions

I am the author of MyHDL, a Python package that turns Python
into a hardware description language (HDL).

Integer arithmetic is very important in hardware design,
but with traditional HDLs such as Verilog and VHDL it is
complicated and confusing. MyHDL has a better solution,
inspired by Python's native integer type, int.

I have written an essay that explores these issues in
detail:
