   If anyone wondering, because it took me a few hops to find out:

   Z3 is a high-performance theorem prover being developed at Microsoft Research.

      Or a BMW, or a groundbreaking electro mechanical computer, depending :)

         I was hoping for the mechanical computer...

      oh, something new! I thought Z3 is SAT/SMT solver, they must have added something.

         Sometimes you can use SMT for “theorem proving”. It is a rather broad term. I don’t think they added something much different than what they already had.

         It is. Look up what SMT stands for.

            Shin Megami Tensei?

            SMT is SAT+arithmetic, no?

            1. IshKebab · 1789658184 · focus · HN ↗

               Satisfiability Modulo Theories

         well a SAT solver is kinda sorta a theorem prover right...?

      nailed!
