I'm glad more people are seeing just how applicable lean is to use cases beyond conventional theorem proving and math

I've been working on a project that involves generating monomorphized Rust based on lean specifications and the grind tactic works surprisingly well as an optimizer for stuff like pushdown

It gets a lot of pushback in the legal domain (naturally), but I feel like the utility is already clearly evident.

Searching a simple model of the Roth IRA for the known backdoors is a good tutorial example. Surprisingly the article just ends there instead of repeating the analysis on the rest of US tax law to find any novel loopholes.

Thanks. Sorry if you feel like it ends abruptly, i've been following up on this today.
