On July 21, Vitalik Buterin proposed a new high-level programming language designed to compile into Lean or HOL, enhancing the readability of definitions and theorems. The language would leverage AI to manage proofs related to Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS), enabling users to focus on the clarity of their statements. The goal is to make complex claims more accessible, particularly as AI generates increasingly lengthy proofs.

ME News reports that on July 21 (UTC+8), Vitalik posted on X that a promising new type of "high-level programming language" is one that compiles to Lean (or HOL, etc.), with the focus on making definitions and theorems as easy as possible for humans to read—not the proofs, since proofs only need to be correct; the key lies in the definitions and theorems themselves. The envisioned use case is that AI outputs lengthy proofs, and readers need to understand as easily as possible exactly which claims have been proven within those outputs. (Source: ChainCatcher)
