I have designed, simulated, and implemented a mixed
analog/digital/software system using (Icarus) Verilog
and C. Attempts by others to accomplish this using
Matlab, Simulink, and all manner of expensive plug-ins
never amounted to much.
Oh, and the initial feasibility check was done with Octave.

I fully agree. And I personally have made the choice
to program using tools that I have control over.
