LLVM's lit tool for testing files is the most successful testing DSL I've ever seen. It's used a decent number of projects outside of LLVM. By contrast I don't see many folks using e.g. Cucumber these days.

LLMs are surprisingly good at reducing crash samples. I've had success with "this project crashes my static analysis tool with the following command, try to shrink the repro whilst preserving the crash. Commit each smaller version to a branch".

I bring you a message about a language that has been at the birth of many others, but almost no one knows it. A rumor of a graphical environment offering options like no other, but almost no one using it. I also bring information about a virtual machine supporting reflection almost to infinity, reaching almost half of the operating power of C in numerical calculations in its time, yet today forgotten.
