- Existing C++ programs use those unreliable features so C++ programmers
have to know all of them!
- C++ is a very complex language which is hard to learn to use well!
- CUDA extends C and C++ for General-Purpose GPU Programming
- Created by NVIDIA for massively parallel numerical computing
- Ideal for simulations, machine learning, data analysis, and graphics
- Lets you write kernels that run on thousands of GPU threads
- Requires understanding of low-level memory and concurrency models

- [[https://www.rust-lang.org][Rust]] is a modern alternative to C and C++
- higher-level than C yet just as efficient
- simpler and more reliable than C++

*** Theorem Proving and Formal Verification

Some languages are designed for expressing and verifying formal proofs —
often alongside writing code. These are especially good for building
mathematically rigorous systems and for learning about logic and type theory.

Paradigms
- Pure Functional Programming with Dependent Types
- Constructive Logic and Interactive Proof Development

- [[https://lean-lang.org][Lean]] is a modern theorem prover and functional language
- Lean 4 aims to be a practical general-purpose language
- Integrates dependent types, macros, and a growing standard library
- Supported by an active community and [[https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib4][Mathlib4]] for formal math
- Especially good for learning type theory, logic, and formal verification
