As part of the course, [Peter O’Hearn](http://www.pl-enthusiast.net/2015/09/15/facebooks-peter-ohearn-on-programming-languages/)
and [Jules Villard](https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~jvillar1/) from Facebook came to Imperial College to talk about [Infer](http://fbinfer.com/),
an automatic verification tool based on separation logic, developed at [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/inferstaticanalyzer/).
At Facebook, Infer is used every day to verify millions of lines of code. As well as Facebook, Infer is used by
Instagram, kiuwan, oculus, Spotify, UBER, WhatsApp, Marks and Spencer, and Sky.
Infer was [open sourced](https://code.facebook.com/posts/1648953042007882/open-sourcing-facebook-infer-identify-bugs-before-you-ship/) in June 2015.
