ReasLab IDE emerges as a fully browser-based environment for collaborative mathematical proof development using Lean 4. The zero-install platform features real-time collaboration, cloud project management, and unified documentation rendering – positioning itself as an 'Overleaf for formal verification'.

AdaCore's comprehensive analysis reveals why C/C++ remains a risky default for safety-critical embedded systems and how Ada, Rust, and SPARK offer compelling alternatives. The deep dive compares memory safety paradigms, certification readiness, and the hidden costs of adopting formal verification in high-integrity development.

Fields Medalist Terence Tao has released a proof-of-concept formalization of the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa (PFR) conjecture using the Lean theorem prover, marking a significant step toward a fully verified solution to this major open problem in additive combinatorics. This work demonstrates the growing capability of formal verification tools to handle complex mathematical proofs at the research frontier.

A curated collection of rigorous research delivers sobering reality checks on overhyped tech trends, from formal verification and microservices to big data scalability and static typing. This analysis cuts through the enthusiasm with empirical evidence, revealing where common best practices and cutting-edge promises fall short under scrutiny.

Researchers introduce BeePL, a domain-specific language with a formally verified type system, designed to overcome critical safety flaws in eBPF—Linux's kernel extension technology. By enforcing static guarantees and leveraging verified compilation, BeePL ensures memory safety, termination, and structured control flow, paving the way for high-assurance kernel modifications without compromising performance.
