>> I think you are coming across a bit strong That's probably true. At the end of the day I believe that tests should be written in the same language with the same semantics as the code they are testing. Midje does not recommend this. It is a multi-thousand line compiler that transforms a DSL into Clojure, introducing new semantics, and syntax. Simplicity always wins in my book. I'll take more verbose tests any day over a custom compiler wrapped in a macro.
