   Hi,   
      
   The Coq proof of the value of BB(5), draw   
   on a sub module BusyCoq. Which drew on an   
   amazing array of programming languages:   
      
   Verified implementations of Busy Beaver deciders.   
   The computation is split into two parts:   
      
   - First, an untrusted decider, written in Rust, tries to decide whether   
   each machine halts. When it succeeds, it generates a certificate.   
   - Then, a verifier, proven correct in Coq and extracted to OCaml, checks   
   each certificate and makes sure that it is correct.   
      
   They also use proof theoretic methods   
   to show non-termination:   
      
   A Coq theorem guarantees that if the verifier   
   accepts a certificate, then the corresponding   
   machine doesn't halt.
