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 systems. The piece walks through what properties TLA+ can actually check, and which correctness claims fall outside its reach, a distinction engineers often get wrong when evaluating formal methods.
Why now: Formal methods are a recurring point of debate among engineers designing distributed systems, and clarifying the tool's real capabilities sparks discussion.
