Calvin Wan proposed a new testing framework for unit tests written in C, and while I agree unit tests can be useful, there's no need to write everything in C. I'm of the belief that one should pick the language that best fit the task, not write everything in the language that you happen to be already using. A modern testing framework written in Ruby is much simpler, and more powerful than whatever can be written in C. This patch series shows an example of what can be achieved with just 68 lines of Ruby code, plus a git library with Ruby bindings.
