People who were here
gollark: HelloBoi is also a weirdly competent programmer.
gollark: Length-terminated string better.
gollark: It can use an optimized search process to try and find proofs if they exist, but otherwise it has to fallback to brute force, so your compiles can be fast iff your program is right.

gollark: It basically just iterates through all possible proofs, and sees if one of them proves that the program is sound and safe.
