    Show HN: Llmll – AI agents fill typed holes, an SMT solver rejects wrong fills

    LLMLL is a programming language where AI agents write code by filling typed holes, with an SMT solver verifying each implementation against formal contracts before merging. The system treats AI hallucination as a search strategy—generating candidates and accepting only those that satisfy specifications—enabling AI-assisted development with formal guarantees.

    .md File Is Not a Specification: Using Formal Analysis to Find Requirements Gaps

    This article explores how informal requirements, like those written in Markdown, often contain ambiguities and gaps that make them unsuitable as specifications for software development. The author demonstrates how Dynamic Logic—a formal method for reasoning about actions and state changes—can be used to express requirements precisely, using a salon appointment booking system as an example.

    Production-ready software development at the speed of thought

    A software developer describes using LLMs with formal verification methods to create production-ready code at scale. After six years of research and agentic coding experience, the author argues LLMs can safely automate design, implementation, and verification when combined with guardrails, enabling faster software development while maintaining quality.
