May be tangential, but: 1) I've never read of Lisp graybeards (or, actually, any graybeards) advocating testing. Ditto for open-source projects. Is the constant evolution and experimental nature of pg-style Lisp coding a replacement for testing? 2) How much testing do you bother to do in an early-stage startup?

In my own limited experience with UmBus (http://mbusreloaded.com/umbus, it's a free, local service), my testing is limited to ensuring that it Works For Me when I implement it and monitoring for unusual and failed requests.

Smalltalk was initially a no-test zone. When it became more commercial, though, testing became common.
