BSC is the open source compiler toolchain for Bluespec SystemVerilog, a high-level, rule-based hardware design language. It translates Bluespec descriptions into synthesizable Verilog, letting developers bring typed, modular abstractions into mainstream FPGA/ASIC flows. The compiler performs scheduling of atomic rules, elaborates parameterized modules, and enforces interface contracts, producing predictable RTL that integrates with existing EDA tools. A companion simulator enables fast functional execution and debugging before handing designs to traditional verification and synthesis stages. ...

ALCHA aims to reduce FPGA project develop time by means of automation and abstraction, but without loosing the low-level control that HDLs, such as Verilog, provides. It will support an object oriented programming model, abstract data and signal types, and compile-time scripting.

...We have created an eclipse plugin version of the tool as well as a standalone command-line based version. Both function identically and output a netlist that can be imported into a pcb layout tool. VHDL revolutionized how FPGA designs and digital logic circuits have been designed and captured and overcame many of the difficulties associated with the use of schematic editing tools. We believe the use of an HDL is also the way of the future when it comes to PCB design. The PHDL compiler automatically supports the output of PADS and Eagle netlists, and through extending a simple java class, users can generate a netlist in practically any format required by their choice of a layout tool.

FpgaC compiles a subset of the C language to net lists which can be imported into an FPGA vendors tool chains. C provides an excellent alternative to VHDL/Verilog for algorithmic expression of FPGA reconfigurable computing tasks. More info in wiki.
