LemmaScript is a new verification toolchain that compiles TypeScript code to Dafny or Lean to enable formal verification without modifying the original executable code. It addresses limitations of previous approaches by allowing verification of existing TypeScript codebases through special comment annotations. This enables proving correctness properties for web applications while maintaining compatibility with existing development workflows.
Background
Formal verification tools like Dafny have traditionally required writing code in verification-aware languages, creating friction when integrating with existing TypeScript/JavaScript ecosystems. Previous approaches required compiling from verification languages to JS rather than verifying existing TS code.
