Shows how Raku can combine one-line assertion-style tests with the expressive failure messages of fluent assertion libraries by using Raku metaprogramming. It describes the limitations of simple assert statements and fluent APIs (like Chai.js), explains where Raku’s core Test module sits between them, and presents a metaprogramming approach in Raku that yields a zero‑learning‑curve test API that still produces rich, informative test output.
