No proof assistants like Lean and Coq?

You should take a look into Lean Theorem Prover (among others) ;)

That would be a theorem prover like Isabelle or Coq. It is orders of magnitude more work.

choeger Dec 6, 2022 View on HN

Did anyone try to connect it to a proof assistant?

elihu Sep 20, 2016 View on HN

I'm not very knowledgeable in this area and haven't used these tools myself, but you could start by looking into theorem-proving tools like coq and agda.

I you prefer readable proofs, try Isabelle or Lean.

Have you found Coq or other formal-methods tooling useful?

PhilipRoman Sep 26, 2023 View on HN

Indeed, I would kill for a proof assistant that integrates with C

How does LEAN compare to Coq/Isabelle/Agda?
