Side-by-side diff display is really hard in the presence of long lines.

New version of difftastic is out! In this release:
* Improved git integration
* Polished the side-by-side display, particularly on large screens
* Fixed a nasty crash
A funny side effect of building software in Rust: my machine OOMs much more during development.
I'm not entirely sure why. I think Rust makes it easy to allocate data quickly, and sooner or later you write an infinite loop when coding.
I'm still experimenting with patch display in difftastic.
The change to the imports are clearer in the patch mode, but the side-by-side mode does make the if/else changes more readable.
Patches are probably worthwhile anyway due to their machine readability.
