[Haskell-cafe] HSpec vs Tasty (was: ANN: hspec-test-framework - Run test-framework tests with Hspec)

[Andrey Chudnov]

So is there a high-level comparison of HSpec and tasty? The only 
difference I've glimpsed so far was that HSpec has a syntactic sugar for 
describing tests which, honestly, I haven't found very useful.
So, could someone write up a quick comparison of the two for the benefit 
of the folks like me who have a lot of test-framework tests and have to 
switch to either tasty or hspec?
