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!

Usually, npmtrends is a great way of choosing a library that's widely used and probably more reliable and better documented. When choosing a JS parser, the options are remarkably close!

An interesting commit in GNU Emacs: optimising the format command by allowing (format "%s" x) to just return x, saving a string allocation. This was already the place in some parts of elisp, but it's now documented and taken advantage of :) https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/commit/3db388b0bf83d3138562f09ce25fab8ba89bcc81
