I'm delighted that so many people are getting value in difftastic, but there has been a significant increase in new issues recently! Hopefully this is a temporary bump from HN. It's a genuine risk from creating a generic tool: if 1% of devs use it, that's a huge userbase.

Reading about Oberon on RISC-V, and I'm surprised to learn that adding a USB stack would probably be a major increase in total lines of code! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25501944
