My feeling - but with no evidence whatsoever - is that the TAP producing libraries of other languages are hardly used. I wonder if it would be possible to take the existing .*Unit libraries of Java and .Net and create some wrapper around them (or a replacement) so people with existing tests written in those testing system would start producing TAP results. Sort of a drop-in replacement. > The downside is there's no pretty GUIs for TAP, but the potential exists. > It's a simple matter of programing.
