>all the time >not common >the cost That's what I thought... and seL4 was the only one I could think of as well. I always see arguments around auditing as well but I think realistically unless a project has some enormous resources capable of funding this things themselves, you can't expect it to happen, but so many people poo-poo projects simply because it's "not audited", but to me that's silly because 1. most projects can't afford that, 2. who gets to say what has been audited "well enough", and 3. auditing results are only valid for specific snapshots of a repo and are completely invalidated as soon as any new changes are made.


It does happen all the time in commercial contexts in certain industries. Look up Spark Ada for lots of commercials applications.
