Screenshot of this question was making the rounds last week. But this article covers testing against all the well-known models out there.

Also includes outtakes on the 'reasoning' models.

You might be interested in Lean.

Yes, I've written some Lean. It's not my favorite programming language or proof assistant, but it seems to have "captured the zeitgeist" and has an actively growing ecosystem.

[–] softwarist@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Fair enough. So what are your favorites?

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 3 points 4 days ago

Right now, I'm spending more time in Idris. It's not a great proof assistant, but I think it's a lot easier to write programs in. Rocq is the real proof assistant I've used, but I don't have a strong opinion on them because all the proofs I've wanted/needed to write where small enough to need minimal assistance. (The bare bones features that are in Agda or Idris were enough.)

Also, my preference shouldn't matter to anyone else. If you want to increase your proof assistant skill (even from nothing), I suggest lean. Probably the same if you want to increase programming skill in a dependently typed language.

Honestly, I should get more comfortable with it.
