I'm still trying to find a colour scheme I like for my diff tool. I need two different styles: added code should be more prominent than moved code.
ANSI colours are extremely limited, so I tried using green / green background. Using bold and bright green seems to work better.

Delighted to see that TOML has released a new version! TOML is overall a great standard but I understand they had limited people with the power to cut a new release.
@aburka Thanks for the feedback!
Definitely agreed on ours vs theirs, it's really confusing. Unfortunately I'm limited to how the sides are named in the file.
I like the diff3 conflictStyle in git, as it shows the base as well as both sides. I can't guarantee that the base is visible though, and it gives me three files to diff rather than two. Not sure about this case yet.
Are there examples of IDE services deliberately leveraging elaborate type systems?
I'm struggling to think of what a richer type system enables in the IDE space. The existence of void* in C, interface{} in Go, or a lack of generics, doesn't seem to have limited possibilities.
