Explores how the Lean programming language handles 2 + 2 = 4, which other programming languages collapse into a bool, but Lean considers a Proposition, and requires Proof.

This is an unbelievably good explanation of some very difficult concepts. I think the Lean documentation should start with an enormous link to this post.

Highly recommended to anyone interested in Lean who isn't already an expert.
