We are starting to work on a new product, coq-of-python. The idea of this tool is, as you can guess, to translate Python code to the proof system Coq.

      Coq. They just want to Python and Coq interchangeably so they can prove their Python/Coq is free of bugs. It’s just a way to get your Python/Coq tested to ensure it’s clean to use, and ideally it would be tested frequently.

      Its pronounced “coke” I believe. Its named after the french mathematician Thierry Coquand. Apparently coq is also a name for rooster. According to wikipedia, computer science in France frequently names things after animals? Idk dont we all?

    I like the motivation of the problem: use mathematical rigor to guaruntee something that is complex and certainty is a requirement, like crypotcurrency, is valid.
