Not just formally but also stylistically. Composable lemma and composable functions are two leaves of the same book. The construction of a proof is to convince the reader of the correctness of the logic and this is exactly the same goal of a mathematical author as it is of a computer programmer.
Business really interferes with the goal of the mathematical programmer — proofs of concept, hacks to get MVPs over the line, throwaway demos to investors etc. — but after a certain point the value of the codebase becomes entrenched into the value of the business and that’s when you need to bring in the mathematical coders to constantly refine and prune your codebase into something that will survive and bear out the earnings per share values.
