I decided to spend the day creating Spectacle.

Spectacle is a spec-driven/bdd/{buzzword-of-choice} embedded DSL for Nemerle. It creates NUnit compatible test fixtures from very human readable code.

So in the spirit of release early, etc...
Project site: http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/spectacle
Also: 3 minute screencast:

You'll probably be needing to the pause to read stuff!
Enjoy :) all feedback is welcome.

An example spec:

spec "Account with 100"
    account = Account(100)

    getting account.Balance returns 100

    doing account.Deposit(100) means
        account.Balance == 200

    doing account.Withdraw(50) means
        account.Balance == 50

    doing account.Withdraw(200) throws ArgumentException
