Is Formal Specification used by proving language like Coq and Idris?

Are they a different way of doing the same thing?

Or two completely different thing?




They share many philosophical similarities, but their design and goals are very different. Coq and Idris are mostly used for research. TLA+ is designed for heavy-duty, everyday use in industry by software and hardware developers working on large, complex real-world systems.
