Do users of immutable systems (i.e Nix or Guix) upgrade more or less often than other platforms?
There's less pressure to upgrade (unlike a rolling release distro) but in principle upgrading is easier.

I really like pattern matching in Rust, but I find myself using it less and less.
`if let` and `let ... else` require substantially less indentation, and I often use them for Option values.
I don't miss this syntactic sugar in OCaml though. Maybe it's just because OCaml has a 2 space indent, unlike Rust's 4 space indent?
I'm considering switching my personal servers (on Digital Ocean) from Ubuntu to Debian. I essentially just need something running Docker for most of my projects.
Debian seems to require upgrading less often. Any opinions?
I've released difftastic 0.63! In this release:
* Better parsing of Elixir, LaTeX, Make, Nix, Rust and YAML
* Better detecting of text encoding, especially on Windows
* Prebuilt musl binaries, so you can run released binaries on older systems!
