What TLA+ can and can't check
Hillel Wayne has published a new essay examining the limits of TLA+, the formal specification language used to model and verify distributed and concurrent systems. The piece breaks down which properties TLA+ can mechanically check and which fall outside its reach, a practical guide for engineers deciding when formal methods are worth applying. It is drawing attention among software engineers interested in system correctness and verification tools.
Why now: Formal methods are a perennial topic of debate among engineers, and practical guidance on TLA+'s limits speaks to current interest in software reliability.
