go

I’ve been writing a lot of Go code for the past few years and I have really come to appreciate the code generation patterns that Go developers use. In this case, the excellent Moq library to generate test doubles for unit tests. No third-party code is necessary to use these test doubles, which is an unusual joy nowadays with masses of transitive dependencies frequently required for anything interesting. One thing that has been bugging me for a while with moq is that in its documentation and generated code it calls these test doubles mocks when they are clearly stubs....
