Comment on Formally Verifying Rust's Opaque Typesparent

Comments

It’s a shame that more engineers don’t have the time or interest to learn formal verification

That's the problem with CS, which is full of beautiful and intriguing topics. Graph theory, game theory, formal logic & semantics, automata, compiler design, theorem proving, type theory, computational social choice, resource allocation, coding theory, cryptography, distributed computation, etc..

Absolutely! Every time I think there's a boring area of Computer Science when I read more deeply into it, it turns out to be amazing. Even something which I hated in University like Complexity Analysis turned out to be utterly fascinating after I read Scott Aaronson's "Quantum Computing Since Democritus". It has such deep and interesting connections to ontology, epistemology , and physics. So much to learn, so little time. Gotta keep that story point velocity up!
