I think formal verification has never looked better.

The main reason formal verification has never really taken off is that it's difficult.

LLMs are significantly more familiar with Lean and Rocq and TLA+ than most software engineers.

I think the cost of trying to build systems that adopt formal verification may have just dropped low enough that companies will consider them when previously the ROI didn't look like it was there.
