I'm still not sure whether a language should include a "kitchen sink linter" like Rust's clippy or have a package oriented "thousand flowers bloom" linter like eslint for JS and TS. Clippy is delightful out of the box but eslint makes it so easy to have project specific lints.

I'm not sure if I should use the term "text diff" or "textual diff" to refer to a conventional, line-oriented diff of text in difftastic. Any opinions? Which seems clearer to you?

Are there any languages that have both pattern matching and statement oriented syntax? In principle these are orthogonal, but I'm struggling to think of a language with pattern matching that isn't expression oriented.
