A while ago I discovered the lesser known Tichy diff algorithm that seems to preserve more context and is better suited for big code refactors: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220439403_The_Strin... via https://bryanpendleton.blogspot.com/2010/04/more-study-of-di...


Any current implementations?


“Tichy diff” pulls up a helluva lot of C. difficile links on DDG. Sheesh.


I was expecting this guy to come up actually: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ijon_Tichy


> C. difficile

Difficult C? :-)


Runny C.

> Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is a type of bacteria that can cause diarrhoea

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/c-difficile/


Think of it as a highly runtime optimized diff.


It’s not diarrhea, it’s life changing diarrhea. People get hospitalized for that shit (pun not intended)
