MFL VS AssertJ

In case you are into serialization, I wrote MFL for working with matlab's .mat file format (focuses on providing a nice API around dynamic types), and QuickBuffers as a zero-allocation implementation for Protobuf (contains Java code generation and lots of performance tuning). Both should have a reasonable size to be interesting without being overwhelming.

Maybe not the feedback you want, but would you consider developing something that looks like plain old (and frankly beautiful) AssertJ?

AssertJ - fluent assertions

Truth or AssertJ for easier assertions in tests with better exceptions

While we are at it: AssertJ is very powerful for writing assertions.

In OO you can make beautiful DSLs that allow really declarative use within that domain, e.g. test assertions in AssertJ, but everybody in the OO world is sensible enough to not try and claim OO as such being declarative. I guess they don't feel a need to try to prove the superiority of the paradigm.

AssertJ comes with a variety of assertions that can be chained together and are specific to the type of your "actual" variable.

At any rate it comes from a library called assertj.

While Hamcrest add some fluentidity to unit tests ä, I prefer the fluent assertions of AssertJ.
