Amaranth's simulator interface has taken a massive amount of effort to design and implement, but the payoff is that writing tests in it is actually pleasant. there's very little friction (i use a few helpers but those should be upstreamable) and the tests are compact and easy to debug
this is possibly the highest achievement of everything we've built for the language

one thesis i have is that people who resort to LLM use to produce tests are doing this because of very real pain points, and also that these pain points are best addressed by building test frameworks that don't inflict acute misery on those who use them
