> My guess is that mathematical research utilizing these systems is probably the future of most of the field (perhaps to the consternation of the old guard). ... Terence Tao has a great blog post about this, specifically about how proof assistants can improve collaboration.
Yeah, that was a great blog post. As someone who started in mathematics but ended up in computing, I read it and realized, hang on, he is talking about taking a devops approach to mathematics. It definitely struck me that this is the way of the future: mathematics transformed from almost a humanities-like discipline into an engineered enterprize.
