   @zeroshade Thank you for your review earlier, this is now ready for another 
look. I addressed most of your comments in 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/34806/commits/3f45bac67f9b3e10374ba048aa2d3a1cfd6c08c6
 (with a further fix in 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/34806/commits/ebf70fd8844dc4e0d0c3be6ad3eceaa605833f1c),
 and switched to native Go return types in 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/34806/commits/1f15a10f97ac24c07859a603d4dc7f4e19305e07.
 This way we can more easily compare the `*Struct` / Native Go implementations.
   
   Personally I prefer the native Go return types. It means we don't need to 
pass a memory allocator to the `Diff` function, and it simplifies the code here 
a bit. I toyed with introducing an `EditScript` struct and returning that, but 
that would have the downside of introducing a new public `array.EditScript` 
type, which I feel is unnecessary in this instance. It seems better to me to 
return `inserts []bool, runLengths []int64` and document what they contain. 
   
   Let me know your thoughts!
