Spent the last couple of days porting my program verification class from Dafny to Lean via Loom/Velvet, and it just works!

Whenever the SMT solver can’t fully prove a program correct, Lean’s aesop and grind take care of the remaining goals.

It seems the first hike as part of @icfp-conference.bsky.social/SPLASH went well! A shoutout to @ningkeli.bsky.social and Yibo DONG (as well as my wife, Ting), who guided the participants on this walk. I could unfortunately not participate, as I had to travel abroad due to an urgent issue.

I am thrilled to announce Velvet: a new foundational multi-modal verifier for imperative programs in Lean.

Velvet unifies execution, testing, automated and interactive proofs; and is itself proven sound.

It's official: RTFM, the faculty mentoring workshop, is happening again, this time at POPL 2026 in Rennes. The one we had at PLDI 2024 in Copenhagen was well received, so I'm looking forward to the next edition. Stay tuned!
