Do you ever look at the Wikipedia pages for numbers? They're rather interesting. In a nerdy kind of way.

@amiloradovsky Computer checked proof aren't the Philosopher's Stone, but it seems like a change of quantity into quality. I think it's a much bigger deal than contemporary mathematicians are willing to accept, and future generations looking back will be astounded at the resistance.

What I would love to see, but probably won't happen in my lifetime, is type checking of allegories.

Higher-Inductive Types

One particularly useful case of providing equality paths is modular integers:

Inductive Z4: Type :=
| O: Z4
| S: Z4 -> Z4
| mod4: S(S(S(S 0))) = 0.

The definition of pred for Z4 is more correct / less wierd
than with ordinary Coq:

Definition pred (n: Z4) :=
match n with
| O => S(S(S O))
| S m => m.

Q: What does a drowning analytic number theorist say? A: log-log, log-log, log-log ...
