Verilog or VDHL.

Thanks everyone for your advice.. I got an Arty S7 and a lattice XO2 Pico dev board.     Now i am no expert but after a week i've been able to get some things done.

Xilinx's Vivado is 10x easier to use than Diamond Lattice.. I'm making some good progress with Verilog.  Interestingly i've finding it conceptually much simpler than writing 'code'.

I'm late to this party, but I'll chime in anyway.

My advice is to learn both. You'll eventually decide you like one better than the other and then you can choose to follow that path.

You didn't say (or perhaps I missed it) whether you're learning FPGAs for professional or hobby reasons. If for professional reasons, that's even more reason to learn both as you'll often find yourself in situations where you have to use both.

Learning both is certainly not a bad idea. You can even use both at the same time in the same project, so even if you only become proficient in one, you should learn how to instantiate modules written in the other.
