Implementation chicken: When there's an obvious feature gap in an ecosystem and everyone is waiting for someone else to write it. I see this most frequently with OSS toolchains. Basic functionality in new programming languages is another common scenario.

I really like pattern matching in Rust, but I find myself using it less and less. `if let` and `let ... else` require substantially less indentation, and I often use them for Option values. I don't miss this syntactic sugar in OCaml though. Maybe it's just because OCaml has a 2 space indent, unlike Rust's 4 space indent?

I'm still experimenting with patch display in difftastic. The change to the imports are clearer in the patch mode, but the side-by-side mode does make the if/else changes more readable. Patches are probably worthwhile anyway due to their machine readability.
