Topic: the right way to learn tactics


Victor Porton (Apr 23 2022 at 14:20):

I took several attempts to learn Lean, and every time I stumble with tactics (especially to remember different tactics). Should I re-read everything but this time doing every exercise (that I skipped, as I usually skipped exercises when learning math, but Lean seems a different beast)? Also, I didn't try it in VS Code, not I do try to see goals interactively, and this seems to help... this (interactivity) was what I missed?

Oh yes definitely! Interactivity plays a huge role in theorem proving, and maybe even in learning theorem proving.
