Explore the intricacies of the Curry-Howard Correspondence in this 35-minute conference talk from Strange Loop. Delve into the relationship between logical propositions and programming language types, examining the challenges of bridging the gap between formal proofs and practical implementations. Discover potential approaches to infuse production languages like Rust and Haskell with capabilities typically found in provable systems. Investigate concepts such as totality, type-level programming, and dependent types, drawing connections between these explorations and proof assistant languages. Gain insights into addressing the challenges of ensuring faithful implementation of proofs in safety-critical system software, including avionics, medical devices, and autonomous vehicles.
