Petra is the world's first developer friendly and open standard for scalable formal software verification (object-oriented) with professional developer tools. Back our Kickstarter today & fast track your access & learning!
Have you ever wanted to take a look at code and gain confidence that it's actually doing what was intended? Most programming systems are far detached from the everyday language used in organizations and businesses, and these systems do not capture and formally verify critical logic (state transitions) that they rely on. To solve this we are launching a new programming paradigm called Petra which is compatible with all major programming languages.
Petra is the future of programming. Understandable code with no errors. Petra is a simple way to structure programs written in mainstream programming languages such as Java, Python etc, that allows programs of any size to be mathematical proven so that the program can only behave as expected in all scenarios. Petra comes with an automated verifier which mathematically checks code for errors. Petra is automatically formally verified, easy to read, easy to validate, and compatible with backend technologies such as Java, C++, Rust, Python and Object-oriented programming (OOP) in general.
Petra has a long term vision, currently its useful for developing large-scale stateful OOP software systems that has applications in critical business decision workflows, orchestration, suitable for cybersecurity, banking, finance, healthcare and many more. Future versions will expand in to GPU and Quantum computing. Help us to achieve our mission of error free code by backing our Kickstarter today!

Who hunted Petra?
Petra was hunted by Aran Hakki. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community. See the full all-time top hunters leaderboard to discover who is shaping the Product Hunt ecosystem.
