Hey guys!

My new job has some room for me to use D at work, so before I do 
anything serious there I've been trying to work through some 
personal projects. The vast majority of my day job is Java, and 
I've really been enjoying the AssertJ library 
(http://joel-costigliola.github.io/assertj/) in my unit tests, 
and thought it was a shame that I couldn't find something similar 
for D.

Here's what I've come up with so far: 
https://github.com/NickPapanastasiou/describe

Obviously still in very early stages. At the moment, docs are 
lacking and failure messages need to be made clear, but it's 
fairly usable. Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated!

Why not make AssertBuilder a struct instead of a class?  Doing so 
allows it to be used with  nogc/betterC, and you're not making 
more garbage for the GC to clean up later.

Did you have a look at fluent-asserts?

I do not know the reason why it was not found, but searching for 
"assert" on code.dlang.org is not easy. Packages with "assert" in 
name have no priority. It is very easy to come to the conclusion 
there is no such  package.
Fluent-asserts is hidden somewhere on a long list with completely 
unrelated packages (mir, mysql, pegged, ...)

Kind regards
Andre

Also dshould? https://code.dlang.org/packages/dshould
