No, not really. That depends on what you mean by hardware programming. If you
mean chip design, yes, that's a bit different, but ultimately the logic is
represented in one of the various hardware languages, and it is like 'normal'
programming with (quite a few differences, which really have to do with the fact
that you are now dealing with cycles instead of instructions).

If you mean 'embedded systems programming' (The kind of programming that allows
a video cd player to play vcds, or a Hardware mp3 player to decode mp3s), then
the difference is minimal.

In the latter case, it should be relatively easy to carry over Nimzo techniques
to Hydra.
