    I think it is great in general. OTOH - nobody prohibits to use any third party library whoever wants to. Third party libraries also die like - https://github.com/go-check/check

    hi, is there a way to integrate this command https://github.com/zimmski/go-mutesting with neovim, and to run it on every buffer save.

    I think this is the most up to date mutation testing library for Go: https://github.com/zimmski/go-mutesting

    Mutesting has been my "new favorite thing" for a while. I hope that mutation scores replace flawed metrics like statement coverage in the future. Sqlite's test suite[0] is probably my favorite example of its power.

    I personally use go-mutesting[1] with my Go projects, which is a bit basic but gets the job done. Mutmut might be worth investigating for when I work with Python.
