Is Hamcrest Alive...

[John Patrick]

For those with commit rights, are you or supporting when you have time, or move onto something else?

Just asking as I would like to submit some changes going forward as I like the Hamcrest. I advocate it use over pure JUnit and TestNg, but with JUnit5 their are some features I would like to attempt to backport the idea from JUnit5 and believe that would be useful to others as well.

I'm not involved in the Java side, so I'm not maybe the best responder here. The gist of it is, I think it's still a going concern, but you'll probably want to hear back from the Java maintainer.

Hi. Not wanting to shot Hamcrest on the foot. Especially because it is still useful for some use-cases.

But you might want to try assertj for your JUnit assertions

AssetJ has nice ideas and looks like it has good support. I think the main difference is that Hamcrest is a more compositional design. Code generation triggers my spidey-sense, but that’s just me. As always, most users use a flatter structure, which makes hamcrest look more tedious (plus we got lost in the long grass of Java generics for top long).

That's why I was saying for unit tests. Hamcrest is the only one that can be composed and thus propose reusable matchers.
