A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Initial impressions on trying to use Atrium:

It took me a while to figure out the right things to import. I know I’m a terrible skim-reader but I didn’t spot the `atrium-verbs` dependency documented and that was really confusing.

Is the expectation that people will really want to configure their own verbs the majority of the time? That’s a neat option to have but I would guess the vast majority of the time people are happy with `assert`, `assertThat` or `expect`.

I’m not trying to shit on Atrium here. It looks really cool. However, it was pretty confusing to just get up and running. 

Looking at the selection of dependencies there are a lot, and knowing which is the “top level” dependencies is slightly confusing. `en_UK` seems odd to include in the default dependency name. Wouldn’t that be a specialization of `en`? Even then shouldn’t it be `en_GB` if it’s using ISO naming?

Atrium looks very compelling but I feel like if it had taken me another 5 minutes to get working I might have given up! Glad I didn’t.
