Hi Roelof, I have used midje for a few years now and it is excellent. It was the first one I picked up.
However, I would recommend clojure.test *whilst learning* for a few reasons: - it is sufficient - it is opinionated and therefore keeps you on the straight and narrow - it is (probably) the best supported in terms of IDE support (emacs and CIDER for example) Midje is great, it really is. And although I haven't used any of the others (although I have looked at them and am very familiar with BDD) I am sure the same could be said of them. However, for me the question is one of focus and guidance. Part of midje's greatness is its flexibility. It supports top down, bottom up, makes mocking easy etc. None of which helps when the problem being solved is "how do I do this *idiomatically*". clojure.test is much more opinionated, so if you are fighting the tool then that is a big flag that you might be doing something wrong right there. I picked up Midje for example and it allowed me to carry on writing OO code far longer than I should have. Had I used clojure.test then I wouldn't have had to fight some small incidental complexity battles (junit integration for example) and would have lost other battles I shouldn't have won (if you see what I mean). Ultimately, there are no wrong choices here - they are great. If it helps, I am starting a new project and starting off with clojure.test to see how far that gets me. This is more to do with "grass is greener" than anything else :).
