Asserting Implications
Blog post from TigerBeetle
The text discusses the use of assertions in programming, specifically focusing on the pattern of asserting implications, which is not directly supported by most programming languages. It explains that logical implications can be represented using disjunction and negation, with the expression "A implies B" being equivalent to "not A or B." However, the author finds this form difficult to read and suggests a clearer alternative by using an if statement, making the code more readable. An example is provided to illustrate this approach, showing how a complex assertion can be simplified by using an if condition to assert a related condition.
