What Hacker News says
5 sourcesGood stuff. Can anyone comment on how it compares against SPARK Ada?
At a glance it looks like Dafny has functional programming features, and looks quite approachable. Its compiler targets .Net, unsuitable for critical-systems work. Are there plans for it to get an industry-strength compiler, or is the emphasis on research rather than critical-systems software development?
