> The problems solved by static analysis are not the big problems Then these companies that spend millions on static checking there device drivers must be real

  Sometimes you still are required to solve them as far as you can. The problems solved by systems like TLA+ or ACL2 can also be useful, and those are both free tools (ignoring engineer time). The absolute cost of solving a problem isn't the best measure for how "big" it is. It's a good reminder though in reference to the GP that there's a richness in methods beyond what one might expect a programming language by itself to handle -- can you imagine someone proclaiming "I can't understand how people use languages without [input from my multi-million dollar] static analysis [tool]."?
