What are the languages that have testing not as afterthought?

• pacaro 9y ago
  This depends on how you think of things. Some languages (Eiffel?) have pre- and post-conditions, which do some of this job. Much of the boilerplate testing done for dynamic languages is done by the compiler for static languages. The borrow checker in Rust is doing the work that a test suite and/or static analysis tool would be doing for C/C++

  Definitely Ruby in general, testing is a core of the language culture.

    That doesn't mean testing isn't an afterthought in Ruby, the language. It means the culture built up a defense against writing buggy code.

    I think that's the nature of a dynamic/scripted language... it's just easier to handle in Ruby and JS than many other languages.
