Difftastic works really hard to find similarities between the before and after file. Sometimes this works wonderfully (see first screenshot) and sometimes it goes way too far (see second screenshot). It's matched up a few variables and semicolons from adjacent functions!

It's wonderfully easy to switch out the allocator in Rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-next/no-jemalloc.html Sadly it didn't help difftastic performance despite doing a lot of allocation, but it's really easy to try it!

Whilst nil and t are rather strange as booleans, they're wonderfully easy to type. I've finally relented and written a yasnippet for Python because True and False are just too many keystrokes.
