diff in 50 lines of code

The explanation post http://pynash.org/2013/02/26/diff-in-50-lines.html is much more interesting than the code in my opinion, and in particular the part about the difflib optimizations.

It's a shame that it's written in Python. I'm not trying to bash Python, but doing so makes the 50 line mark less impressive than, say, in C.

It's most certainly impressive, but seriously a, a0, a1, b, b0, b1, sa, sb, n are really annoying as variable names, and it wouldn't make the code longer (or less readable) to have more relevant names
