what I think would be really cool is an interactive language/interface to go from generative, potentially-unsound, partially-verified thoughts and formally examine them by testing them, gradually making them more and more concrete, eventually to the level of formal logic. - ThreadSky

Our gradual verification work has this flavor—a user can go from no formal specifications and incrementally specify more and more receiving verification (static and dynamic) feedback a long the way.

Combined with @neurocy.bsky.social’s live programming work might be even closer.

let me know if you all want to write a proposal on it someday

I’ve found Holbert fun for experimenting/learning about type theory stuff. Not sure how similar it is to what you’re imagining though!

Link? I don’t recognize it 😭

be warned there seem to be bugs currently.

it's not like what you're describing though

Ah yeah, probably a bit of a stretch now re-reading the original post. Was thinking about how you could play around with logic and type theory stuff in a way that might not be sound or correct(?), but there was still a ton of value in that.

it's cool to see examples of demos regardless--I'll check it out.

something like gradual types at the level of reasoning specified in English, gradually transitioning out to work with code that has rich, highly-informative types attached to it.

Gradual depenent types have entered the chat

For performance too. Start with GC, move the hot path to lifetime tracking, and the really hot path to dependent types that prove runtime checks like bounds checks aren't needed.

i agree
