The F* Programming Language (fstar-lang.org)

A provable language that can translate directly to OCaml, F#, C, WebAssembly, or VALE sounds lovely if it's not too painful to use. I hope the C translations follow CERT / MISRA. It would be a shame to prove the program correct then have a translation of it that's buggy. I'll have to read more about this later.


I have started looking into it for the same reasons. So far it feels like programming in F# but with nice tasty refinement types added. So fairly straightforward.

I’m looking forward to the compiler kit.


Not exactly, but I sort of chuckled to myself and wondered if a future extension would be F*** for sure. Now I'm wondering what sort of project I can start and name "Grawlix".


The hotcrp conference management system treated it as a shell glob and leaked out the list of submitted papers, once.
