Hey, Phlip. It's been a while.
I just saw the Cobra language http://cobra-language.com/, which is sort of =
a cross between Python, Ruby, Eiffel, Objective-C, and C#. Dot-net platform=
, but Mono is explicitly supported, so it works cross-platform.
Its assert statement (and its invariant statements, and its test statements=
) print out that sort of information.
Interesting language -- it has syntactic support for unit tests. Not the fi=
rst I've seen, but definitely it's the cleanest I've seen. It also has bloc=
ks (like Smalltalk and Ruby), but without the need for curly braces (it use=
s Python-like block syntax). An interesting experiment.
