What TLA+ can and can't check
Engineer and writer Hillel Wayne has published a new piece examining the limits of TLA+, the formal specification language used to model and verify distributed and concurrent systems. The article walks through what properties the tool can actually check, and which correctness concerns fall outside its reach, a recurring point of confusion among engineers adopting formal methods.
Why now: Formal methods are gaining traction among software engineers, and clear guidance on TLA+'s real verification limits is practically useful.
