The "Concrete Semantics" book gives an introduction to imperative programming languages accompanied by an Isabelle/HOL formalization.

In order to achieve a similar brevity of the formal text we extensively use CoqHammer, as well as Coq Ltac-level automation. We compare the formalization efficiency, compactness, and the readability of the proof scripts originating from a Coq re-formalization of two chapters from the book.
