Re:You Don't Know Jack About Formal Verification by nilkn on Monday June 29, 2026 @04:19PM (#48724616)
There's a lot of really important software out there where being able to easily verify effect-free core logic would certainly be very useful. An e-commerce web app is not a good example. Anything safety-critical -- aerospace, defense, medical devices, power generation, industrial machines -- already requires a certification process. Auto-generating proof evidence as part of the cert process (which generally requires a rigorous spec anyway) in the near future seems like a no brainer.
