While being quite well maintained and widely used, the testify/assert package is a huge package with mostly APIs that are not type safe. The second downside is that there are so many different APIs that almost do the same thing while also being possible to use in bad or otherwise incorrect ways. This is to the point of there even being a specific linter for this: https://github.com/Antonboom/testifylint

All of this makes me think that we should consider switching to https://github.com/alecthomas/assert. It does not necessarily have as much momentum behind it but it has a much simpler API and is type safe.

Is it possible to construct a solution with the existing API?

Describe the solution you'd like to see.

We should consider switching to https://github.com/alecthomas/assert. I did so recently for https://github.com/Jacalz/rymdport and I am happy with the result.
