Hello,

I believe that it would be good to add Athena
http://www.proofcentral.org/athena/  in this list,
and also  this book:
https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/fundamental-proof-methods-computer-science
to learn this language for proof and computation invented by
Konstantine Arkoudas.

Best wishes,

Jo.
