Summary

Walter Wilson introduces Axiomatic, a minimal pure-specification logic language with meta-language capability based on the idea that the external behavior of a program can be defined by an infinite set of symbolic expressions that enumerate all possible inputs, or sequences of inputs, along with the corresponding outputs. The language is just a formal system for defining these symbolic expressions

    I think this language needs a more human readable documentation.

  • Excellent idea; but hard to follow

    I agree it is hard to follow, especially because there is no visual indication of what the presenter is referring to on his content-dense slides.
