VHDL is difficult. If you're an expert at VHDL (and only a handful of
people are), then I'd suggest giving yourself ~6 weeks to get proficient
at antlr (which presumably you don't know yet), and at least 6 months
just to get to useable ASTs. Doing anything useful with the AST is going
to take a lot longer.
If you're *not* an expert at VHDL, then forget it... :)
