I agree with that - it's good with a variety.

I did a few small FPGA designs using Confluence, which was a functional
programming language for RTL hardware design.  Code size was less than a
tenth of what was needed for traditional Verilog or VHDL, was much more
general and flexible, and much less error-prone.  Unfortunately, it was
a one-man project and that one man got bored and went on to make a new
language for a different purpose.
