Comment on What software is made ofparent

Comments

My personal view is that software is mathematics without proofs.

Interestingly, the functional programming crowd sees it the opposite way (according to Curry-Howard isomorphism): every program represents some logical calculus and programs are proofs to some prepositions about our programs that we keep in mind writing the program (and it's possible to get a glimpse of the prepositions using types).
