I've released difftastic 0.22! * Added PHP, and improved C++ and Rust * Files are split on clearly unchanged regions before diffing, hugely improving performance * A ton of improvements to nested diff heuristics

There seem to be three ways to get a fix or feature added to an OSS project: 1: Contribute enthusiasm and camaraderie 2: Contribute and discuss patches 3: Contribute money The amount required of each hugely depends on the work required.

I've seen some Rust talks recently that describe it as "an alternative to C/C++". This seems like a good framing. The term 'systems language' has hugely varying interpretations. Does it mean a web service? Does it mean an operating system? They have very different PL needs.
