Traductions littérales is a personal blog at blog.merigoux.ovh about programming and math. Since 2019, 8 different Hacker News readers have linked it 8 times, most often “A mathematical formulation of the tax code? (2019)”. The last post was in 2022, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Denis Merigoux's blog on formal verification of Rust code and the French DGFiP tax-calculation compiler. Commenters link it for the text-input case study on formally proved code and the tax DSL work.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Does the linked case study[0] help at all? It's real code that already had debug assertions that acted as a postcondition. It was than formally proved that those conditions held (or didn't hold in one case) for all the relevant functions. [0] https://blog.merigoux.ovh/en/2019/04/16/textinput.html

HN discussionThe author explains in the twitter thread (french): https://twitter.com/DMerigoux/status/1314531302079688709 > The difficulty arose from a constraint on the part of the DGFiP which did not wish to publish, for security reasons, part of the logic of the calculation corresponding to the "multiple liquidations" mechanism. Raphael and I recreated this unpublished part in a new DSL. > The DGFiP also did not wish to publi…
