mako VS cloc

Mako is written in C Core and some other variants are discussed in the /u/bitusher comment

There is a thread about mako, which is a new implementation, in this sub right now.

Call me old school, but I like looking at the number of lines of code to get a feel for how big of a project something is. Mako[1] is 265,618 lines of code. The most widely accepted Bitcoin implementation[2] is 639,074 lines of code. The common Bitcoin implementation is 2.5x bigger and written in a slew of languages. Mako looks like a super-impressive amount of work (and by a single person no less).

[3] How I calculated: find -type f | sed 's/.*/"&"/' | xargs wc -l

Cloc - https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc

and get the results on the cli.

Let me know what you think. :)

Awesome stuff, thank you! I‘d love some flags/options for cloc integration if it can be detected, maybe a summary of the top N languages for directories (67% Rust, 13% Html, 9% Bash) or something. Just a suggestion/idea. Gonna install it anyway, it‘s shiny!

The solution I am using is currently comprised of 145 projects, 141k+ lines of C#, and 37k+ lines of Razor, courtesy of cloc:

Just out of curiosity, I downloaded the latest version of GNU coreutils and compared the line count between a few source files and the resulting disassembled object files (using cloc to exclude blank lines and comments). It looks like the ratio is very approximately 2 assembly instructions per line of C code. Obviously, that will depend a lot on what the code is doing and the coding style.

When I started making a game [0] last year, first thing I did was write a little Unity script that takes a screenshot of the opening scene, counts current lines of code using CLOC [1] (for fun, not as a true measure of anything), and occasionally renders it all out to an image file.

With that I'm able to create some pretty fun time lapses of progress. I've been doing this at an arbitrary milestone, whenever my Luau [2] LOC surpasses C++ by another factor. This post reminded me I'm overdue for another now that Luau > 3x C++ LOC.

I find it rewarding to look back at my progress. I'll share in case it's interesting for you too [3].

My manager just asked me about this a few days ago (sigh) cloc is good for this - you can pass it a hash or two hashes and it will give you counts accordingly. https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc

Finally, since I'm limited on the character-length of this post, I'll post an individual comment for each year with a table of data. The "All Rank" column will rank the problem by difficulty (measured by leaderboard close time) across all years, with 1 being longest. The "Yr Rank" column will be similar, but ranked only within that year. The "P1 LOC" and "P2 LOC" columns show the numbers of lines of code in my solutions for each part as measured by cloc (each part is stand-alone so there will be some duplication, especially for Intcode). Other columns should be self-explanatory.
