Some considerations on the usability of interactive provers
Andrea Asperti, Claudio Sacerdoti Coen · 2010
Abstract. In spite of the remarkable achievements recently obtained in the field of mechanization of formal reasoning, the overall usability of interactive provers does not seem to be sensibly improved since the advent of the “second generation ” of systems, in the mid of the eighties. We try to analyze the reasons of such a slow progress, pointing out the main problems and suggesting some possible research directions. 1
