A couple weeks ago I was curious what the strictest programming language was. ChatGPT listed a couple, and it kicked off a short discussion where I began asking it about the capabilities of stricter programming languages at low levels. Funny enough at the end it mentioned that SPARK/Ada was the strictest you could get at the lowest levels, same as Ironclad.
At one point while asking it about drivers, it said "ACL2’s logic is [...] side‑effect‑free definitions with termination proofs when admitted to the logic. That is misaligned with effectful, interrupt‑driven kernel code.
I'm not an OS or kernel dev, most of my work has been in Web Dev, ML, and a little bit of embedded. How accurate is the information that was presented to me? Here is the link to the discussion: https://chatgpt.com/share/691012a7-a06c-800f-9cc9-54a7c2c8b6...
I don't know SPARK or Ada, but it just bothers me to think that we can't...I guess...prove everything about our software before we run it (yes yes, I'm familiar with halting problem shenanigans, but other than that).
