A taste of Lean.
In fact, the math_is_haunted axiom is so bad that it lets us derive a contradiction(e.g. 2 + 2 = 6 and 2 + 2 ≠ 6 can be proven true at the same time), which, by the laws of logic, means that we can now This was eventually “patched up” by choosing different axioms, but it has caused much anxiety, hair loss, and general soulsearching among the mathematical community. Lean combines a bunch of mindbending ideas from a rich history of mathematics and programming, and I felt a lot of joy rediscovering them.
