Show HN: PBT – A property-based testing library for Ruby

  2 3 - Ruby

  Ruby interface to Linux Netlink

  

Ruby just simply isn’t the glue language winner because of the heavy emphasis on rails.

From a systems perspective, I had to switch to python because it has pyroute2, which supports rtnl, devlink, ethtool and more.

I would have thought ruby would have had a full-fledged netlink library right now considering the stability of chef and puppet.

But all I could find was this from 8 years ago: https://github.com/BytemarkHosting/netlinkrb

I started off with ruby for systems glue but now I have a mix of python and ruby. I wish it was all ruby but the lack of updated “glue gems” and the prevalence of updated “glue eggs” means python really is the “glue language winner”.

  A very minimal implementation of the core idea of Hypothesis

Great work, looks really clean! Check out Minithesis [1] and the paper explaining internal shrinking [2]. It will strongly improve your library's shrinking capabilities and prevent users from having their own shrinkers in most cases.

  RBS as a Property

Good point. There's already such a project to run PBT based on RBS. I'm also keeping an eye on this.
