Sustainable open silicon communities
summary
Surfer is a waveform viewer that ships a waveform control protocol (VCP) enabling remote control from editors and tools, which powers a GDB‑like JPDB workflow and tight editor–waveform coupling with Slang LSP; the project swaps a stagnant FastWave for the widely adopted Valen parsing library, is embedded by Silage, Quick Silicon and Lubis EDA, and is supported by Vapor View and GTKWave; a plugin translator system yields BlueSpec/Chisel/Clash integrations and the project now has more contributors than users.
