What's this about?
Bend combines native/parallel execution with laws and proof checking to constrain AI-generated code. Its “bug-free” slogan is broader than what a proof establishes: only specified properties under a trusted checker are verified.
What exactly is formal proof?
A machine-checkable argument that code satisfies a written property. If the property is wrong or incomplete, the proof can pass while the product still behaves badly.

- The laws themselves may be wrong or generated carelessly.
- Readers question real-world scalability and comparisons to SPARK/Lean.
- Compiler availability and a squashed repository history raise trust concerns.
