Big thank you!

Yes, it helps.

It seems that Alea must be ported to Coq 8.5, but that seems easy to do. In progress.

You could certainly program (in Coq) using a probability monad, which
should extract nicely to Haskell or to Caml.

To formally reason about your probabilistic programs, the following
Coq libraries and tools could help:
- Alea https://www.lri.fr/~paulin/ALEA/
- Certicrypt http://certicrypt.gforge.inria.fr/

Hope this helps,
