A pleasant surprise: updating the direct dependencies in difftastic has reduced the total transitive dependencies. I wasn't expecting that.

It's rare to see ANSI escape codes for URLs in the wild, but cargo has it! This example links to https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/profiles.html#default-profiles, describing the different profiles. Considering releases vs debug is a source of confusion for new users expecting better performance, this seems wise.

JS projects can accumulate a ton of dependencies, but TIL that npm can explain why you have them. `npm explain foo` or `npm why foo` shows the dependency path to foo. Super handy when you weren't expecting to depend on something.
