I think you could build an interesting IDE with a tiny embedded LLM in addition to the usual tooling. Features like 'extract method' would be much nicer if an LLM could provide a name. Choosing a good name is virtually impossible from just a typed AST.

Showing lines of context is a remarkably hard problem for a syntactic diff. Line 23 on the right is new, but lines 24 and 25 also map to the same line on the left! Initially I thought this was a bug. It's impossible to show exactly N context lines whilst preserving alignment.

Got a bug report on difftastic saying it crashes with an error: "should be impossible: expected XYZ". I am very glad I phrased my assertion as *should*!
