Bend is a new programming language that compiles to native code and GPU, offering C-speed performance with Python-like syntax. It uses a proof-checking type system (inspired by Lean/Rocq) to prevent AI-generated code errors, allowing users to declare invariant laws that the compiler enforces. Key features include fast compilation, automatic parallelization across cores and GPUs, and support for formal verification.
Background
Bend targets the growing need for reliable AI-generated code as AI coding agents become more prevalent. The project introduces formal verification as a practical tool for preventing AI coding mistakes at compile time.
