I expected a section about testing and benchmarking since it comes out of the box with Go. Are there other popular languages offering it?

  Rust's cargo CLI includes subcommands for testing and benchmarking.

  Python has the unittest module which works well for basic unit testing, and it's inspired by others (JUnit and the smalltalk testing framework respectively as I recall). I'm not sure about benchmarks, though.

    Well, TIL! I had no idea about the unittest module. I always see pytest used in Python projects.

      That is because unittest should be removed from the core libs. It is a bad copy of a Java library, pytest is far superior in every way. There is no reason to use unittest.

        Well there’s the reason that it avoids pulling in a dependency. Which arguably is not much considering all the benefits of pytest.

          If you are airgapped, you have other problems. They weren't really my target market.

  Both the JVM and .NET have benchmarking suites. Java's JMH is arguably much more advanced and holistic than what is included with golang.

  D has unittests and potentially benchmarking if I can be bothered to implement it and write the proposal (and it gets accepted etc.) I have written a library solution using ranges at compile time to measure asymptotic performance but I'm talking about a language feature.

  Are there any languages except C and C++ that doesn't?
