Should Languages Natively Support Proofs by 2026?
thomasahle · x · 2026-07-11
The author proposes a provocative view: by 2026, programming languages shouldn't be built unless they natively support Lean proofs.
The quote highlights the selling points of Bend2:
- Programming language
- Near C speed on CPU
- Near CUDA speed on GPU
- High-level like JS, supporting closures, objects, and recursion
- Lean-like proofs, forcing AI to write proofs to reduce bugs
The author concludes with rhetorical questions like "everyone is using it" and "how much would you pay," making the post feel more like an exaggerated vision for next-generation languages and AI programming paradigms.
