is CS an engineering practice?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on reddit.com/r/csMajors

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Access the most powerful time series database as a service
  • SonarQube - Static code analysis for 29 languages.
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • pie

    The Pie language, which accompanies The Little Typer by Friedman and Christiansen (by the-little-typer)

    The computer scientists who are figuring these things out are constructing the tools that software engineers need; just like the mathematicians who developed calculus and the physicists who extended Newtonian mechanics into something engineers can apply. Just as an engineer's tools and materials are calculus and physics (not hammers or concrete and steel), a software engineer's tools and materials are proof-assistants, category theory, linear polarized logic, and dependent type theory (not the Rust programming language or the UNIX platform).

  • lean4

    Lean 4 programming language and theorem prover

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • coq

    Coq is a formal proof management system. It provides a formal language to write mathematical definitions, executable algorithms and theorems together with an environment for semi-interactive development of machine-checked proofs.
