Tests returning values and composing is a really interesting model. It establishes structure and shows which test failure is the most 'fundamental'.
Sometimes programming tools are so good that you miss them when using other languages. I see these mentioned the most frequently:
* IntelliJ (for Java)
* Slime+Emacs (for Common Lisp)
* Pharo (for Smalltalk)
I'm struck that they all have bespoke UIs.
Today I learnt that the Glamorous Toolkit has its own VM, implemented in Rust, which wraps the Pharo smalltalk environment!
