Clicked like 5 pages and never found 1 code example.
Idk why languages don't have their syntax in a sandbox front-and-center on the home page.
It's like a video game site with zero screenshots or videos (also rampant).
New programming languages I want 2 things:
1. What does the syntax look like
2. Why would I use this language
Talk about the proof logic, show the syntax, thank you

I like Haskell, and to me this seems really useful as a kind of "noob" to functional languages.
Is this used in the industry ? And for what kind of software ?

I liked being able to express calling external libraries while incrementally migrating existing C codebases to F*. Very solid language.

I guess responsive stylesheets can't be implemented without side effects...

Would this language be useful for implementing compilers and formally proving things about them?

F* seems to be a collection of like five different languages and proof systems. Honestly I never figured it out.
Does it get basic stuff like subtraction and u8 right, unlike Lean?
