I have spotted that Elixir already provides functionality that I wanted to implement - List.myers_difference/2, however I would need to dig more if there is space for optimisations, I am still learning the Myer’s algorithm.
@jola you can see that one and see how much performance difference is there between calling external Git command vs using above function on in-memory data. If there is noticeable difference that cannot be solved by caching then I can try to implement NIF for Git’s xdiff library.
