I don't mean to be dismissive, but if this was really true we'd all be writing TLA+ specifications/Coq proofs before finalizing our Ada SPARK implementations. In reality, static analysis only improves development time if time_lost_to_debugging > time_lost_to_arm_wrestling_compiler, and in my experience that's not always as common as one would like to believe.
- desdenova 2y agoIf you're wrestling the compiler, you should improve your programming skills before trying to analyze programming languages.
- hatefulmoron 2y agoAh yes, I'm sure that all of your Rust code compiles the first time :^).
