Right; as an example, SML was formally proven to be consistent [*]... an= d = it is strongly typed with type inference. [*] SML was formally specified even before its first implementation (I = believe Bertrand Meyer had enjoyed such a statu). The first document abo= ut = SML was that formal proof, even prior to the second document specifying = it = in a more human readable way. -- = Si les chats miaulent et font autant de vocalises bizarres, c=E2=80=99es= t pas pour = les chiens. =E2=80=9CI am fluent in ASCII=E2=80=9D [Warren 2010]
