> And you don't need need just any parser, you need very robust ones that can deal with malformed files well. But why? Shouldn’t the code you push into a repository be at least syntactically correct? And even if it is not, one can simply fallback to textual diff. > Or, if you only pick a small set of supported languages, your diff tool will not work on most files or have to fall back to a structure-agnostic algorithm. I don’t see how it is a blocker.
