I've released difftastic 0.65! Highlights of this release:
* Better parsing of Clojure, Common Lisp, Kotlin, Rust and Zig.
* Quality of life improvements for binary files.

Sometimes programming tools are so good that you miss them when using other languages. I see these mentioned the most frequently:
* IntelliJ (for Java)
* Slime+Emacs (for Common Lisp)
* Pharo (for Smalltalk)
I'm struck that they all have bespoke UIs.
I've been experimenting with an 'evaluate up to cursor' mode for my PL project.
I love evaluating self-contained snippets in Lisp, this generalises the idea.
The interpreter remembers the arguments when you run tests, then can re-use them when you say 'eval up to here'.
What do you think?
