Build formally verified web apps using Claude and Lean
The author used Claude Opus 5.5 under high-level guidance to develop Lasm, bringing the formally verifiable Lean language to browsers, Node, serverless, and edge environments. This enables developers to build end-to-end web applications with formally verified specifications (such as Express or Hono servers running on Cloudflare Workers).
