Are you kidding, or has automatic proving of programs evolved that far? Anyway, for my sector, videogames, "proving" if something works correctly is subjective, it's very hard to check if "the gameplay of a game is good enough" since that involves human fuzzy judgement ;-) Although this might just be statistics, so can be proven too! Aaarrrggghhhh, soon we're all out of job ;-)

Next stop: Coq, where the fight with the type checker is so much more difficult that when the code finally type checks you don't even need to run it at all.
