Let's use Occam razor. Why on earth anybody would be interested in Metamath which is even more obscure than Coq or Lean? Was there a hype to attract someone here? Ok, there was Metamath book. I read it, he read it too. Is that a hype? People want to understand mathematics and proofs. They found known textbooks not satisfactory. In fact even some mathematicians find it not satisfactory and they turn to Lean, Coq or Metamath. Were they following a hype? I would call this a movement (e.g. https://xenaproject.wordpress.com), because these people know what they are searching for. And I can only say it again: Metamath is as good as it gets to render existing proofs, but there is neither good assistant nor automation for newbie to create new ones. There is nothing new at all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Metamath" group.
