Why initial

[dxur]

Why initial blocks exist in the first place, if I can't use them to initialize variables i.e assignments?
Maybe this is part of the language design, but I don't understand the reason behind it.

For FPGA, initial block with $readmemh system function can be used for array register initialization.

initial begin
    $readmemh("data.hex", array_reg);
end

Veryl supports initial block for such parpose.

Thanks for clarifying such subtle detail
