Add more memory primitives

Very much in agreement with this: > I think it makes sense to want to implement as much as possible in Calyx, but I wonder if this will increase the...

Add a `fud` stage to go through the MLIR backend and use CIRCT to compile all the way to Verilog.

This would be a wonderful idea.

Implement clock gating

Just looking around for advice about clock gating and FPGAs in particular, I found [this post](https://zipcpu.com/blog/2021/10/26/clkgate.html) on the always-helpful ZipCPU blog. It confirms what we'd surmised about FPGAs coming with...

Implement clock gating

Indeed, I think that is only a concern in the ASIC (not FPGA) case. In that case, it's worth going back to thinking about the construction of a basic [D...

Add conditional assignments to the language tutorial

Yes indeed! I think it would be cool to add this in another stage in the language tutorial… it could be kinda contrived, but we could just add a phase...

[fud] Usage of "kernel" naming convention in the HLS flow

Seems like a good idea to me!

[docs] Extend language tutorial to demonstrate `invoke` statements

Good idea!

Interpreter has difficulty with signed numbers

Interesting point! Yeah, maybe that should indeed be the default… if for no other reason than "Verilator and interpreter modes match" is a pretty desirable property.

Interpreter has difficulty with signed numbers

Good question—in fact, `--raw` is an argument to the actual interpreter executable. So if you were to run that directly (not through fud), you would use `--raw`. To pass this...

A Lower Lowered Form

Huh, this is a thought-provoking idea! It would be fun to chat sometime in a little more detail with @vegaluisjose included. I think the questions about the scope for Calyx...
