Will programming languages that can be formally verified save the day? One AI builds, a different AI proves Like Lean for Math but we need it for the complete stack (maybe including hardware, too)

How is it possible that gigantic projects "switch" to a different programming language... in a few months, not years? AI can migrate code with relative ease now, but that's not it... It's the fact that these projects have high quality tests and excellent test coverage! 1/2

I might go insane... Can someone please confirm that a stream like this has been calculated by some computer and mathematical formulas? I understand a how LLMs work, but how these machines are implementing something incredibly complex that has afaict not existed before is just mindbogling 🤯

We know exactly what works: • Rapid fossil fuel phase-out • Massive renewable expansion • Nature restoration • Fair climate finance Emissions are still rising, but the tools to reverse this exist. The only missing ingredient is political will. Demand better. Vote better. Act better.

The revolution is one the way Open Source for the win The point is not vibe coding but whether such projects can turn into a well functioning and supported solution. But then how many want to self host? Most won’t so there’s still services to offer that users will pay for canivibecodeit.com
