The article reflects on 50 years of proof assistants in computing, tracing their evolution from early systems like LCF to modern tools like Isabelle and Coq. It challenges claims that scientific progress has stagnated, highlighting how proof assistants represent significant theoretical and practical advances in computer science. The author argues against the
Comparing Set Theory and Type Theory: Mathematical Foundations and Their Evolution
This article explores the relationship between set theory and type theory in mathematics, examining how these foundational systems differ and complement each other. It discusses the historical development of both approaches, from Principia Mathematica to modern implementations like Lean and Agda, and addresses common misconceptions about what constitutes typ

This article discusses the design philosophy behind the Isabelle proof assistant, explaining why it doesn't use dependent types or proof objects like other type theories. The author argues that proof objects are unnecessary and wasteful, and that Isabelle's approach of type checking in the implementation language (rather than in the logic) is more efficient.
