Annoyed at having to switch between your editor and terminal, just to type `go test` over and over?
As you should be! So download fswatch and let it run your tests for you any time you save a file.

$ fswatch -f . -- go test
It's kind of like watchr, or so I've been told. But it's a native executable, written in Go, and
only runs on Macs (you are using a Mac, right?) using the Apple-specific FSEvents framework. So
it doesn't poll files or anything inefficient like that. It's very healthy for your system. And
it's not a gem and so doesn't depend on any other programs, it's just a native compiled executable.
