You use TLA+ not because it's easy but because it makes you suffer in the right way.

Consulting session with client today ended with a working (if crude) prototype of testing code directly with a TLA+ spec

The gist is we can use IOExec (github.com/tlaplus/Comm...) to send commands to and read responses from a running program, and use those to determine the next states of our spec

Fortunately, due to the work of Markus Kuppe (who I can't find on bsky rn), this is totally possible! TLC (the TLA+ model checker) has had "simulation mode" for a while, and on top of that, now has trace introspection + a JSON community module that can write to files.

Haven't written demo TLA+ (or is it #tlaplus?) models in quite some time, I think it'd be fun to do some of awkward real life situations. Like if two people are trying to pass each other in a hallway and entering a Walkward loop

So you would like to write more reliable software ?

I just published a presentation about how to model software with TLA+, meant for software engineers, not mathematicians/logicians.
