Re: [tlaplus] what software reliability problem TLA+ is solving?

We hereby welcome you to the TLA+ community.

TLA+ is a formal "specification" language.
A specification is a written description of what a "system" is supposed to do.
Any digital system (an algorithm, a hardware circuitry or software systems) can be specified precisely in TLA+.

Once a system is specified precisely, there is the "TLC Model Checker" that we can use to better understand the correctness of our specification.

There is much fun possible when playing with systems and TLA+.
I suggest you begin either by studying the reference book or by attending the video course online, for which the hyperlinks are given below.
