It is a difficult subject matter: instead of proving something about a specific program, you must prove results about all possible programs that achieve a task given some set of constraints.
IMHO, it is amazing that any results (e.g. [1]) are known at all in that field given how little structure they must work with...
Think of this field as the particle physics of CS---not very useful in the real world, but still very cool to learn about.
