Rust Formal Methods Interest Group
The RFMIG provides a forum for academics, industry users and any other interested party discuss and collaborate on the challenges of Rust program verification.
Our objectives are to:
Improve communication between formal tool developers and the Rust core teams
- Hold 'office hours' with Rust team members to answer questions about the
rustcAPI or the direction of the language. - Identify weak points in Rust's current tool interfaces, help shepherd the improvements the formal methods community needs.
Foster a community of formal methods tools and users
- Provide a platform for tool developers to share their work and encourage collaboration.
- Gather feedback and input from industrial and hobbyist users of formal method tooling.
- Work towards improving tool inter-compatibility, in particular of specifications.
