am, programming language is our toy ;-) everybody has some preferences, so i respect them and i understand that even the Lambda would be a big jump for us nevertheless the Groovy or Kotlin. i saw the parameterized tests, re-runs in Groovy, log result of assertion statements, and I spoke with Benedikt and we agreed that Spock is very special and we like it. i do not want to push Karl. Maybe one advice is to think about the programming approach where these annotations and code would be easily used in another languages too. that's basically all from my side.
Enjoy!
