I was initially skeptical about Rust's convention of having tests in the same file as the actual code, but it seems to be working out well.
I actually thought we should go the opposite direction and have tests in a different repository, evolving independently of the code they're testing. This would make it easier to check the behaviour of past as well as future versions of the code.

I would pay a lot more attention to tests if they were right in front of me. The benefit of lexical proximity is sometimes in conflict with modularity. Lang support, tooling, yadda yadda.

I think only in the context of what we're currently familiar with. Trying to sell someone our current universe from my hypothetical alternative universe would probably make it seem a nightmare to them, too...
