I think he was arguing that if programming consists of symbol manipulation and proofs, the task of writing proofs for large programs consists of a lot more symbol manipulation (although probably a lot more tedious in nature) than many proof

As a sidenote, Stepanov’s introduction [0] to the Boost Graph Library book explains a lot about his approach to programming. He didn’t write the BGL, but his work on the STL was a major inspiration for it. [0] http://stepanovpape

This is an interesting article but one major effort it doesn’t mention is the Boost Graph Library [0]. It is kind of clunky in places because it is written in C++03 and uses some weird idioms to simulate keyword arguments and provide generi
