Further tinkering with diagnostics, following feedback! * Two lines of context above and below now. * The caret is included in the line below where possible. * Syntax highlighting of keywords. I kinda feel that smart context sizing would be better. What do you think so far?

I find it really interesting how some areas of tech are widely expected to improve radically (e.g. LLMs and smart home tech), others gradually (CPU speed, battery capacity) and others very slowly (e.g. compiler optimisations). Predicting the future is hard.

I've heard of 'blub languages', where you don't realise that other languages have better abstractions until you've experienced them. I think the same thing happens with individual features. I've seen several C++ folks miss variadic generics in Rust, but I've not written enough C++ to feel it.
