It's not easy to display a log file nicely in a browser. The file might be huge. Users expect to be able to link to lines. It might have colour or control codes.
I've been pretty impressed with the GitHub actions UI, compared with other CI tools.
I've released difftastic 0.70! In this release:
* Added Dockerfile and fish shell support
* Improved Dart, Emacs Lisp, Erlang, Java, OCaml, PHP,
Protocol Buffers and TOML.
* A bunch of display and performance fixes.
I had a third attempt at porting difftastic from Dijkstra to A*, and I've eventually concluded that A* just isn't worth it for the implementation complexity.
I had fun writing it up though, and I've even attempted ASCII art for building intuitions:
It's really satisfying fixing crashes in rust-analyzer. You can start from a panic message and dig until you've got a tiny Rust program that triggers the problem.
(It's usually an issue with incomplete source files breaking invariants.)
