what does it mean for clash to compile haskell code but not to come up with a digital circuit? haskell code (afaik) doesn't represent combinational or sequential logic. well maybe it does using clash (thanks to haskell crazy metaprogramming faciilities) but then what does it mean to "compile"? verilog isn't compiled, it's still synthesized to gates and luts and whatever right? what does clash compile to natively if not verilog/vhdl (which then gets synthesized)?
