🚨 Thrilled to announce our recently accepted paper at @ICSEconf, publishing benchmarks to push the boundaries of AI-driven Proof Oriented Programming. 🔗 huggingface.co/datasets/micro… 🔗 huggingface.co/datasets/micro… For more details: fstar-lang.org/popai #PoPAI #ICSE2025

@HerrDreyer Hahaha! Now I've got to put that on my post deadline watching list : ) (or not)

@lambdaNik I don’t know, maybe it thought you were writing a treatise on the glory years of silent film, citing the 2012 Sight and Sound poll in which Carl Theodor Dreyer’s “The Passion of Joan of Arc” was voted 9th best film of all time!

I'm writing my POPL submission in VSCode for the first time. I have copilot on ... Just because it usually is. Amused by it completing \cite{ with dreyer12.. pierce18... and interestingly petricek16. Not sure what papers those are, but I guess I'm definitely writing a PL paper :)

@0xabU Yikes

youtu.be/0za3QkMqLkg?si… Great talk by @anishathalye, impressive end-to-end verification distilling the behavior of an HSM from application code to hardware in just a few lines of ideal functionality.

Excited to have Anish Athalye anish.io present at the next F* PoP Up seminar on June 27, presenting about a verified hardware security module using a variety of tools, including F*, Low*, Hacl*. Come check it out! fstar-lang.org/popup/seminar.… #fstarlang

This is happening today in a bit less than an hour! ...

WSL2 + OCaml + F* + VSCode + Copilot + fstar-vscode-assistant + ... Proof flow! #fstarlang

This edition of @MSFTResearch Research Focus features our research on synthesizing high quality program specifications from informal intent using LLMs, to appear at @FSEconf . Work done as part of microsoft.com/en-us/research… Project. @cellocorgi @fakhourysm @saikatch107 @RiSE_MSR

Folks, give this new tool from RiSE a spin: github.com/microsoft/aici. Prompts are WASM programs and gives you a flexible/programmable way to control the output of an LLM. Semantics matter :)

From the White House ONCD report: whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl… > ... use formally verified core components in their software supply chain. [Citing: Microsoft Research, Project Everest] See: project-everest.github.io #fstarlang

@basus please do!

@lambdaNik Would it be ok if I emailed you with some questions about this?

We're hiring! Please apply to join RiSE @ MSR Both fresh PhDs: jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/job/… And Principal Researchers: jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/job/…

@kc_srk Oh wow, OCaml \cap Auroville sounds awesome ... Future societies, founded on self-reflection and typed functional programming!

Register to attend the OCaml Retreat at Auroville. Dates: Sun 10th March to Fri 15th March forms.gle/TJg7Uz7ZxKyGqX…

Excited to post ~15 new chapters in the F* book on Pulse and proof-oriented programming in concurrent separation logic, coupled with initial releases of the Pulse extension to F*. Just in time for our tutorial at POPL tomorrow! fstar-lang.org/tutorial/book/… #fstarlang

@GuiEspada Same!

@lambdaNik Looking forward to seeing you again Nik! 😊

Excited to teach about Pulse at POPL! Been writing new chapters in the F* book. Come to our tutorial popl24.sigplan.org/room/POPL-2024…

@notypes Yes please!

@notypes Your question is good motivation for me to write some docs for the DSL framework. Meanwhile, here's a little taste: embedding a custom checker for STLC in F*. github.com/FStarLang/FSta…

@notypes We have a brand new framework for certified embeddings of DSLs in F*, which is what we've been using to build Pulse.

@notypes We're focusing so far on spreading the word about Pulse itself, rather than the DSL framework, but I would really like to also get folks to use the DSL framework.
