Considering how useful I've found AI at finding and fixing bugs proportional to the effort I put in, I question your claim that it's being underfunded. While I have learned things like Idris, in the end I never was able to practically use them to reduce bugs in the software I was writing unlike AI. It's possible that the funding towards these types of languages is actually distracting people from more practical solutions which could actually mean that it is overfunded in regards to program verification.




I'm speaking of verification, which is about making code (provably) airtight with respect to specifications, now and forever.

You're answering with finding bugs, which is about fixing one issue at a time.

Both are useful, but we're not speaking of the same scale.
