For the HN crowd who are generally programmers but not necessarily mathematicians, it’s more relevant to consider the programming side of things. There is a very good book (one I haven’t finished unfortunately) that covers Lean from a functional programming perspective rather than proving mathematics perspective: https://leanprover.github.io/functional_programming_in_lean/

I am learning Lean myself so forgive me as I have an overly rosy picture of it as a beginner. My current goal is to write and prove the kind of code normal programmers would write, such as real-world compression/decompression algorithms as in the recent lean-zip example: https://github.com/kiranandcode/lean-zip/blob/master/Zip/Nat...
