I've started keeping a list of particularly interesting bugs and patches that I've worked on: https://github.com/Wilfred/interesting-code The time that I once removed *a single closing paren* in Emacs is still my favourite.

One problem with syntactic-based diff tools (like difftastic) is that they can show confusing results when replacing a function. I've realised that traditional diffs have the same problem! There's one common line between old and new, and diff has matched the closing parens.

I've released difftastic 0.7! https://crates.io/crates/difftastic * Experimental tree-sitter parsing! * Better git integration (colours, file renames, file additions) * Smarter diffing (almost-identical comments, closing delimiter alignment) * Lots of smaller display improvements too :)
