I periodically see "diffstatic" as a typo of difftastic. I quite like it: makes me think of 'ecstatic' rather than 'fantastic'. I've eventually configured typos CLI to prevent this spelling on the difftastic repo, but it makes me smile every time.

I was looking for some basic examples of Scala syntax, and it looks like they've changed quite a bit in the 2 -> 3 transition! It's the biggest syntax change I think I've seen in an established language.
