Re:There's a mathematician in your compiler by QuesnayJr on Tuesday March 31, 2020 @09:48AM (#22737472)
It's the article that has it backwards. You can deduce true from any premise. In terms of the Curry-Howard isomorphism, I can write a program from any input to the one-element type by throwing away the input and returning the one element.

I think the previous comment was alluding to "resolution", where you prove a statement true by assuming it is false, and then deriving a contradiction. That only works in classical logic, though.
