Should we try mutant?

Hey,

I am inclined towards giving a shot to using mutant.
What do you think? Should we do it, should we not?

I'd love to know your opinions on this! :)

Here are some thoughts:

• Trying out mutant locally is great and gives a lot of insight in where your code is untested or overly complicated.
• Current mutant is not under an open license anymore so you would be adding a non-open (development) dependency to your project.
• The last mutant released under an open license did not have many configuration options. If you don't like the style of code that it pushes you toward, you're out of luck.

Those are some really good thoughts, @mvz, thank you! 😄

This would be a big problem for us then :/
So I guess we're pretty clear about this :P

Aah, I see. Again, pretty clear now. Thanks for your thoughts, again! ❤️
