I've released difftastic 0.63! In this release:
* Better parsing of Elixir, LaTeX, Make, Nix, Rust and YAML
* Better detecting of text encoding, especially on Windows
* Prebuilt musl binaries, so you can run released binaries on older systems!

Coming from JS or Python, imports in Rust feel weird. They're entirely optional aliases for fully qualified symbols, which are always available.
I don't know of many other languages where you can just start using libraries. Java is the only one I can think of.
There are *so many* ways that reading a text file can fail.
Maybe it doesn't exist, it's a broken symlink, it's actually a directory, it's not the encoding you expected, or perhaps you just don't have the correct permissions.
Reporting good errors is surprisingly labour intensive.
