psst VS difftastic

On the other hand, this Rust-based one called Psst looks awesome and works: https://github.com/jpochyla/psst

Psst but currently very limited in features and have to build yourself.

psst, https://github.com/jpochyla/psst

I don't know how can I install this open source software from github.

Would like to add that you can also use clients such as spotify-qt and Spotify TUI to control said "device". There's also Spot and psst that are standalone (librespot not required but no Connect functionality).

You can also take a look at Psst. I use Symphonia for decoding and CPAL or CubeB for output. CubeB is a bit nicer.

There's also this project, written in Rust, which is a great GUI Spotify client https://github.com/jpochyla/psst

There‘s a Spotify client, psst, which has an Async widget (with a Promise state struct) that works very well for loading states etc. That project has a bunch of other tidbits and interesting patterns for Druid, I learned a ton from the code.

i want a diff tool that shows me exactly which tokens have changed, and which haven't, regardless of how they are laid out.

These already exist: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic

when we get that, then we should get even less merge conflicts.

Counterintuitively, that is not the case. AST-merge is a much, much, much, much, much harder problem than AST-diff.

The fact that diffs can be used to drive a 3-way merge is in fact an accidental property that arises due to the sheer crudeness of the diff format. As soon as you start using more-sophisticated diff formats, solutions to "the diff problem" no longer lead directly to solutions to "the merge problem".

Yes there is an `—-override` option you can use to specify the language in which a file should be parsed.

Use the fantastic difftastic instead of git's diff. https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/

difftastic provides similar capabilities in a free tool based on treesitter

If you're looking for a VS Code extension or a GitHub app, check out https://semanticdiff.com/. I'm a co-founder of this project.

If you prefer a CLI tool, check out https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic. It supports more languages, but doesn't recognize when code has been replaced by an equivalent version ("invariances"). So it will show some changes (e.g. replacing a character in a string with an escape sequence) even though they are technically equivalent.

Shameless plug: I've written difftastic[1], a tool that builds ASTs and then does a structural diff of them. You can use it with git too.

It's an incredibly hard problem though, both from a computational complexity point of view, and trying to build a comprehensible UI once you've done the structural AST diff.

There is a diff tool called difftastic: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic

The idea is that it does not show diff based on text change, but on syntastic meaning. For that, it uses tree-sitter.

I think it still shows the trailing comma in the situation as shown in the article, but it's quite different experience than the standard text based diff.
