What if writing tests was a joyful experience?
At Jane Street we use a pattern/library called "expect tests" that makes test-writing feel like a REPL session, or like exploratory programming in a Jupyter notebook-with feedback cycles so fast and joyful that it feels almost tactile. Having used them for some time now this is the only way I'd ever want to write tests.
