I hear people say that Go is often hard to search online (hence sometimes "Golang"), but the vast majority of language names are common words. Names with punctuation (C++, C#) are hard too.
Is this a big problem in practice? "Perl" isn't a dictionary word, but it's an exception.
Difftastic 0.36 is out! In this release:
* Better diffs: Punctuation is now treated separately in the cost model
* Nicer display: Changes in comments are now underlined too
* New languages: Hare, Pascal and QML
* Smarter detection of binary files
I've documented several additional interesting challenges for syntactic diffing: meaningful comparisons of large string literals, understanding blank line changes, and autoformatters adding minor punctuation!
