F* is a unique programming language that bridges the gap between formal methods and practical programming. While traditional theorem proving languages focus on abstract mathematics, F* aims to enable the writing of actual software while allowing for rigorous proof of its properties. This approach has the potential to revolutionize how safety and correctness are ensured in programming. As proof automation improves, developers could verify various attributes of their code, such as memory safety and algorithmic complexity, enhancing the reliability of software systems. Comparatively, F* may offer advantages in performance by compiling to native code, making it an attractive option against alternatives like Lean. The discussion suggests an increasing interest in languages that combine formal proof capabilities with practicality, driven partly by the ease of language creation and dissatisfaction with existing solutions. However, some caution is raised about the implications of naming, especially if it hinders discoverability.
