How One Programming Language Rewrote Mathematics and Why Software Is Next
Lean programming language is revolutionizing mathematics and set to transform software verification.
For much of its history, mathematics relied on human verification of proofs. Lean transforms this by allowing machines to validate each step of a proof, eliminating human error. The community has built a library of over two million lines of formalized mathematics, attracting mathematicians and AI labs alike. As Lean evolves, its creators believe it will also revolutionize software verification processes.
