Her signals were too slow. They weren't reaching their destination before the next "tick" of the digital clock. In the world of FPGA design, being late by even a billionth of a second is a total failure.

Allows developers to convert C, C++, and SystemC code directly into programmable logic, significantly reducing development time compared to traditional HDL coding.
