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.

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?

Thanks! BTW you might enjoy setting CARGO_TERM_COLOR=always in your environment :) dtolnay/rust-toolchain does this automatically but it looks like you aren't using that action.

Yes we use it for rama [1]. You can check its justfile and CI workflow file how we use it. Those run thousands and thousands of tests thx to nextest and what feels like instantly (once compiled).

Large projects build with rama use it as well. But those are proprietary from partners so sadly cannot share those.

Yes, for a long while – I believe it's fairly widely used (and it's absolutely excellent!)

Been using it for years, for opensource stuff and at work. No issues whatsoever.

Yep. Tokio uses it for their tests in CI as well last I checked.

Yes, been using it for 18’ish months. Works great.

Happy user here !

Coming from the DC area, this comment reminds me of how the metro payment system "Smartrip" was recently renamed to "Smart Trip".

That is indeed the pun =)
