Less verbose test function

Currently, the test function has the following usage:

// #1

test({
  name: "example",
  fn() {
    // test code
  }
});

// #2

test(function example() {
  // test code
});

I like #2, but I think #1 is a bit verbose.

How about this instead?

test("example", () => {
  // test code
});

@sholladay Hm - looks quite minimal and similar to ours. I’m not opposed to that API.

@piscisaureus thoughts? https://github.com/avajs/ava/blob/master/docs/01-writing-tests.md

Sorry, I meant the API definition (or a small subset of it), not necessarily the implementation. Would be awesome if AVA’s implementation could be ported, but I agree that sounds hard. Among other things, AVA relies on Node’s child_process. It might be possible to replace that with Web Workers, but there could be other issues.

If, however, Deno were to adopt the API of a popular framework like AVA, it would make it easier to port the implementation in the future as better tooling comes along to do that, and as libraries begin to use more runtime agnostic patterns. At the very least it would make Deno more familiar and approachable.

The similarities don’t have to go super deep, IMO, as long as test definitions and assertions are the same.
