Vitalik said in a post on X that a new kind of high-level programming language worth trying would compile to Lean, HOL, or similar systems, with the main goal of making definitions and theorems easier for humans to read. He argued that the proof itself matters less from a readability standpoint because it only needs to be correct, while the core value lies in understanding the definitions and the theorems being stated. In the use case he described, AI could generate a long proof, and readers would still need a clear way to see exactly what claims were proved. The comment centers on readability and interpretation rather than the mechanics of proof generation.
ChainCatcher reported that Vitalik said in a post on X that a new type of “high-level programming language” worth trying would be one that compiles to Lean, or to systems such as HOL, with the focus placed on making definitions and theorems as easy as possible for humans to read.
He said the emphasis should be on definitions and theorems rather than proofs, because a proof only needs to be correct, while the key point is the definitions and the theorems themselves.
In the use case he described, AI would output a long proof, and readers would need to understand as easily as possible which exact claims had actually been proved in that output.
