Mastering Spring Cloud Gateway Testing: Predicates (part 1)
I love using the Spock framework for its simplicity, readability, and maintainability. That's why we use Spock to drive our integration tests.

Helidon Níma is the first Java microservices framework based on virtual threads
Well I care a lot that it exists. And many other people I know do as well. Just because you don't seem to like it, you shouldn't imagine everyone else is like you.
Maybe Grails is no longer used as much (like Rails itself), but Groovy found other usages since then, like https://spockframework.org/ and Jenkins pipelines (https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/). It's not going anywhere, and I see no reason for anyone to be upset about it.

Ask HN: What's your favorite software testing framework and why?
In my opinion it is Spock for Java/Groovy [1]. The amount of functionality and readability you can squeeze from Groovy's DSLesque is absurd. Is basically a full fledged new test language with Java sprinkled as the test contents code

Are there languages that allow to extend its syntax ?
Groovy allows you to perform transforms on it's AST. If you look at the Spock framework, they used AST transforms to pull off a lot of the DSL.

Using Cucumber and Spock for API test Automation — What Benefits Can You Expect?
Spock and Cucumber exemplify the philosophy of behavior-driven development (BDD). The principle behind BDD is that you must first define the desired result of the added feature in a subject-oriented language before writing any tests. The developers are then given the final documentation.

HTTPS Client Certificate Authentication With Java
As a quick demonstration, the following (Spock) test asserts that the client JVM code fails to create an SSL connection with the service. Note that I chose to use Vert.x Web Client to handle interacting with the service, but don't let this decision distract from the core content of this post. Nevertheless, if you haven't used Vert.x, I encourage you to try it out -- especially for building server-side network applications.

You Want Modules, Not Microservices
I feel like the types of people that use ArchUnit are the types of people that misuse it anyway. Even the elevator pitch example in the project repository is of the backwards horizontal layering that leads any change to carpet bomb a project.

Anything similar to ArchUnit in Go?
I looked around but couldn't find anything that was very popular. Are there any packages similar to ArchUnit (See: https://github.com/TNG/ArchUnit)?
