VHDLs type system is pretty rock solid it’s based off Ada after all. Which if you have looked at in any detail its a great type system!
I dont like the begin end style syntax and some the verbosity that entails with VHDL. However, I would rather create designs in VHDL than verilog when given the choice.
Most complaints about Verilog from VHDL people come from outdated notions of the current state of the language and its tooling.
