Hi, (I don't have an opinion which language should be selected here.)

(RSpec did come up during the unconference session and > subsequent hallway conversations.) If we want to select Ruby, I can help. (I'm a Ruby committer and a maintainer of a testing framework bundled in Ruby.) I'm using Ruby for PGroonga's tests that can't be covered by pg_regress. For example, streaming replication related tests. PGroonga has a small utility for it: https://github.com/pgroonga/pgroonga/blob/main/test/helpers/sandbox.rb Here is a streaming replication test with it: https://github.com/pgroonga/pgroonga/blob/main/test/test-streaming-replication.rb I'm using test-unit as testing framework that is bundled in Ruby: https://github.com/test-unit/test-unit/ I don't recommend that we use RSpec as testing framework even if we select Ruby. RSpec may change API. (RSpec did it several times in the past.) If testing framework changes API, we need to rewrite our tests to adapt the change. I'll never change test-unit API because I don't want to rewrite existing tests. Thanks, -- kou
