VHDL/Verilog is a bit like Pascal/C division used to be, with VHDL having more fans in Europe and Verilog on US, and then the respective countries that do business with them.
At least that is how I understand the market division, it might also be that one of them has already won, not sure about that.
I decided to learn Verilog after reading of a different division. Namely that VHDL is the preferred option of defense industry applications in the US, Verilog preferred in non-MIC business. Given the advantages of VHDL over Verilog looked less than overwhelming and Verilog has some advantages of its own, (verilator, seemingly more RISC-V cores in verilog, open-source tool chain looks closer to being useful to me etc.) That's the call I made. It looks like it's not so hard to switch from one to the other if you need to do that though.
