A Perfectable Programming Language
SMRTR summary
A programmer explores why Lean is the best programming language, arguing it's "perfectable" because you can write properties about code within the language itself. Lean combines dependent types with theorem proving infrastructure and seamless metaprogramming capabilities, allowing custom syntax creation. The author demonstrates these features through tic-tac-toe examples and argues that proper programming naturally evolves toward theorem proving.
