* Package name : lean Version : 3.2.0 Upstream Author : Leonardo de Moura <leona...@microsoft.com> et al. * URL : https://leanprover.github.io/ * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: C++ Description : theorem prover from Microsoft Research Lean is a theorem prover or interactive proof assistant. That is, it’s a system in which you can write formal mathematical proofs that are checked for correctness by the computer. Lean is thus broadly similar to Coq, but the Lean developers hope to build a faster, more extensible system than Coq is today. From the About page: “Lean is a new open source theorem prover being developed at Microsoft Research, and its standard library at Carnegie Mellon University. Lean aims to bridge the gap between interactive and automated theorem proving by situating automated tools and methods in a framework that supports user interaction and the construction of fully specified axiomatic proofs. The goal is to support both mathematical reasoning and reasoning about complex systems, and to verify claims in both domains.” Lean has been under development for several years; regular releases first appeared in January. I use Lean, and I know other Debian users would like to have it easily accessible.
