I tried it not long ago - it's really cool just a tad sad that the rust eco-system didn't allow verus to be more streamlined in the tool and requires these little shenanigans with a different build of it - it felt a bit clunky to swap cargo for the verus one ; but the tool is definitely needed right now
So far out of what I've looked at, Kani blends into the Rust language best. Verified code snippets look a lot like unit tests.
It looks like fuzzing, but it's proving no-panic for all possible values symbolically. If only it handled loops better :-/Verus wraps everything in its macro that makes rust-analyzer etc unhappy.
Do you have any reference to the Rust community “not allowing” something? This seems more like a case of a relatively niche tool doing what it needed to do to work, but not (yet) some broader effort to upstream or integrate this into cargo or rustup. I couldn’t find any RFCs or anything, for instance.
I didn’t read OP as saying “the community won’t allow” but more “the tooling doesn’t allow” for what they want to do.
