Add comparison to github.com/go-test/deep
It would be helpful to have a comparison table or something in the readme to help people understand the difference between this package and https://github.com/go-test/deep. That has more stars and shows up better in search, while this library seems much more active.
You are completely right!
We should even compare against testify, go-cmp and probably some others testing frameworks as go-testdeep outperforms most of them :)
But as other writings, it takes time to do...
Perhaps do you already have an idea of how this comparison should be displayed?
Probably a table, for each line the feature, for each column the testing frameworks, and ✓ or ✗ if the framework implements or not the feature.
The extra comparisons are also great. Tables are nice, but can take a long time to compile. To make it simpler up front, I think just a quick paragraph would help a lot (suggestion below). Over time, people can continue to flesh it out and maybe help create a comparison table.
Compared To:
go-test/deep
small paragraph
go-cmp
maybe some bullet points

Until a more detailed report, the presentation has been updated and 2 slides now talk about "differences":
