Automated theorem proving will only ever be an arrow in the quiver, because even in theory, the space of useful computer programs is a vast superset of those which may have all their properties formally verified. In practice, it's a much larger superset than theory allows. Growing the space of formally verifiable subprograms is a worthy endeavor, sure, but so is good old-fashioned engineering.
