My programming language aware diff for VS Code and GitHub now supports Rust

Hi Rustaceans,

I am working on SemanticDiff, a programming language aware diff that hides style-only changes, detects moved code and refactorings. I just added support for Rust and would like to know what you think!

You may have heard of difftastic, which provides a structural diff as a command line tool. SemanticDiff works similarly, but can also hide certain types of invariant changes and is available as a VS Code extension and GitHub App instead. This way you can get better diffs right in your editor or use it to review pull requests.

To learn more (screenshots, list of invariances, …) check out the release blog post. If you want to give it a try, you can get the VS Code extension for free from the marketplace or follow these steps to use it with GitHub.

I look forward to your feedback.
