"Perhaps I'm being really naive and an exponential wall is about to humble (and embarrass) me."

There is something fascinating and awe-inspiring about searching very large, enumerative datasets for useful results. Like wandering Borge's Library of Babel in search of not just meaning but something true and useful.

I don't think the original submission has enough details for us to reproduce or even understand what's being done. Omega monad is just a diagonal search monad that supports infinity. I don't understand the syntax in the screenshot. What's the type of the terms being enumerated? I can see lambda, but what's @inc or the pluses and minuses?

I'm confused about what this could be, with a title as technical as this but being posted somewhere with the signal:noise of Twitter, also where I can't view it.

For non-twitter, I was looking the other day at https://reasonablypolymorphic.com/blog/syntax-guided-synthes... , which unfortunately points at a dead page related to https://sygus.org/comp/2019/ , but seems related?

I believe the dead link in the article is referencing this journal paper[1], which is an expanded version of the original syntax guided synthesis paper.
