Difftastic is a structural diff tool written in Rust that parses source files using syntax trees (via tree‑sitter) and produces human‑readable diffs at the expression level. It works across 30+ languages and emphasizes readability by aligning code structure rather than lines. Ideal for code review and understanding semantic changes.

Whatsdiff is a command-line tool built to help developers inspect and understand changes in project dependencies after running a package update (for Node.js with npm or PHP with Composer). Instead of just seeing version numbers scroll by, Whatsdiff allows you to compare the package-lock.json or composer.lock between commits, branches, or tags, and see exactly what changed in your dependencies—including version jumps, added or removed packages, churn, and often included changelogs.

tkdiff is a graphical front end to the diff program. It provides a side-by-side view of the differences between two text files, along with several innovative features such as diff bookmarks, a graphical map of differences for quick navigation, and a facility for slicing diff regions to achieve exactly the merge output desired.

Produces a succinct comparison of two Linux kernel configuration files, showing added, removed and changed settings, in an indented layout reflecting the configurator menus.

Now comes with a program to extract configuration variable names and their prompts from their kernel build system, to create a symbol table.

Furthermore the plugin can (optional) format java code before the...
