Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers
I use both Meld and Diffuse[1] depending on what I do. I find Diffuse to represent diffs better visually, while Meld being better for actually merging contents.

Text comparation. Find matches
If all you need is a tool, there are plenty. On the command line, there's diff, which is versatile and can be scripted. If you want something graphical, there are a bunch. I like Diffuse which can compare more than two files at a time. Also, most modern text editors, such as VSCodium can diff files.

Hired: A Modern Take on 'Ed'
That’s the same as bat:[1] one of the features is syntax highlighting. Kind of unexpected to find a concatenation program… which also does that.

Ugrep – a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep
Good find, thanks! I'll check if I prefer it to moar.
As for bat, according to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#using-bat-on-windows, the Chocolatey package simply installs `less` alongside `bat`. Seems like a good idea, but I haven't tried it.

Tell HN: Please don't print –help to stderr in your CLI tools
For this reason I have a zsh function in my .zshrc with bat (which pages by default, if it's longer than your console height):
