Dependent Haskell Is the Future (2018)
There is a persistent myth that "A Haskell program that compiles is correct by definition"Indeed it is "correct" in the sense that it has a very high likelihood (maybe 90% ?) of doing what the programmer intended (Unlike say C or C++ where the probability drops to about 50% for beginners)However, that is a poor definition of "correct".
While it's true that a lot of huge consequences have occurred due to stupid errors like buffer overflows (unintended bug), there are equally disastrous bugs caused by intent - i.e. the programmer had no idea the code could fail.The biggest challenge to software development is not the "How can I avoid silly mistakes?" but rather "How do I capture this extremely complicated real world semantics in code?" and languages can't really solve that
