alt Hacker NewsThanks for posting about this! I'm the main author of nextest, and it represents my best foot forward for how Rust testing should be done. Happy to answer questions though I might be a bit intermittent.

Thank you very much for developing nextest. It is what allows our projects like rama [1] to run thousands and thousands of tests in a blink of an eye! Keep it up!

Have there been any discussions about upstreaming this into cargo proper? Are there any significant downsides to nextest compared to its predecessor?

Big fan of nextest and this is my first time seeing this site. I'll be real I feel a bit ridiculous commenting this but you might want to consider rephrasing this:
>Treat tests as cattle, not pets. Detect and terminate slow tests.
Not sure saying, "hey, treat your tests as an animal you can kill at will" paints the right image.
