Java

tl;dr ¶

• I like JUnit. It is simple and clean, and it is ubiquitous in the Java world.
• I like Go’s testing package. It is even simpler and cleaner, and distinguishes between failed checks and fatal test failures. It doesn’t use exceptions to do this.
• I wanted to see what Go’s testing semantics would look like in JUnit, so I wrote JGoTesting. Some people helped me.
• I’m quite pleased with how it is turning out so I want to share it with you.

It turns out that having a day job can play havoc with your blogging activities. I’m posting a round-up of recent activities, in no particular order, with the intention of expanding on each of these topics in the coming weeks. But we all know what happens to intentions. This is mostly a brain dump to make me feel guilty enough to write some of it up, so feel free to skip it if you’re busy.
