Topic: Hello World


David Spies (Jan 03 2024 at 02:01):

Hey, I'm trying to get started with Lean and mathlib, but I can't seem to get "Hello, World" working. I think it's some sort of 403 error when it attempts to download the dependency, but I don't know how to tell because all the set-up resources say to use the VSCode UI which doesn't give obvious feedback rather than command-line tools (Despite being a fan and regular user of VSCode, I'm a bit perplexed by the decision to bake it into the main setting-up tutorial)

Oof, thanks
Is there somewhere I can check the current status/for updates?

also, https://live.lean-lang.org is functional if you just want something to play around with

Hello,
I'm Adam Millar.
I did a little bit of LEAN ~5 years ago with Mario and Jeremy as a masters' student at CMU.
I am .... very ... rusty, but I am trying to return to the world of LEAN, most likely from a pedagogical perspective to help undergraduate math and computer science students see the connections between Logic, Proof-Based Math, and Computer Science.
.... does anyone have a suggestion on where to begin?

Depending on how rusty you are, you may or may not notice that now (almost) everyone is using Lean 4, instead of Lean 3.
