I have 8 years of industry experience and feel the exact opposite. When programming in Ruby I am forced to not fully express the concepts in my head. We do TDD but our tests are humorously thin; typically covering none, one, many. Idris proofs are tricky but more automated and powerful than writing tests. And I can still write tests in Idris.

To go beyond "protocols", UI form data to server response back to UI display in a web app is a source of major bugs. So many things are broken. Recently I had to add a spurious lap infant to book a flight due to JavaScript template being broken when rendering 0 children.

What happens if you try to book 9007199254740993 spurious lap infants? Just curious.

I'd love to QuickCheck the diapers out of this method.
