There must be good diff libs for rust, and the rest is more or less simple, I presume. We read the two excerpts, pass them to the fn diff(a, b), which I presume would return some sort of diff-style string, and use that.

How crazy is this?

This would be cool, and yes there should be good crates for this, and as long as we use diff on the code blocks, it should syntax highlight I think

For context, when writing tutorials, it is common to have before and after steps (both of which compile), and want to present a diff from the two.

At least that is the clear use case for me.
