[Haskell-cafe] HSpec vs Doctest for TDD

[Alois Cochard]

For me TDD is highly overrated, and is abused as a buzz word by recruiter...

In the context of writing a DSL, how one can start by the test? It's just
impossible...

TDD is okay if you fix a regression... sure I always fix bug that way, I
start by creating a test that reproduce it... but I never ever do TDD when
designing something new...
>From my experience, usually people advocating TDD, are kind of person to
focus more the methodology than the actual technical challenge... it might
be what you are looking for... I don't.
