That's an interesting syntax comparison, thanks, but not really what I
was reacting to.  The statement of import (with emphasis added) was
""The dynamic nature of JavaScript makes mocking frameworks MOSTLY
UNNECESSARY."

This doesn't imply a simpler mocking framework, as you describe.  It
implies a fundamental mindshift in how testing gets done.

I should probably stop speculating about it here and just do some
reading about it.  (Or some coding, but I've already invented two
"distract myself" projects this week and don't need a third in a new
language.)
