Without being too self-indulgent, I'm not sure there is that big of a gap between the two in provability, there are now a huge array of verifiers for Rust code which are being used to verify real code: SAT/SMT solvers, kernels, memory allocators etc...

I agree. I think getting provability right would bring reliability along with it.
