๐Ÿ”ฅ Check out this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Creusot is a deductive verifier for Rust code. It verifies your code is safe from panics, overflows, and assertion failures. By adding annotations you can take it further and verify your code does the correct thing. Creusot works by translating Rust code to Coma, an intermediate verification language of the Why3 Platform. Users can then leverage the full power of Why3 to (semi)-automatically discharge the verification conditions! See ARCHITECTURE.md for technical details. If you need help using Creusot or would like to discuss, you…
