Overview

Words like "easy" and "simple" are often used in writing to convey that something doesn't require extra complications or tooling. But they also mean in English that something should be literally "easy" or "simple" - which often isn't the case for devs new to a technology. It's good writing practice to use more precise adjectives instead.

Right now the Mocha slogan is "Simple, flexible, fun JavaScript test framework for Node.js & The Browser":

<p align="center">β˜•οΈ Simple, flexible, fun JavaScript test framework for Node.js & The Browser β˜•οΈ</p>

Let's use a slogan that doesn't say "simple". Maybe just "flexible and fun" is enough?

Problem: Bun and Deno have built-in test runners you have to import from to run tests. I use Mocha. This doesn't work.
Solution: ???
