cloc VS podc

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:

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].

Does it perform better for Go than cloc (which has the advantage of supporting a ton of languages and of being packaged in a lot of distros)?

Cool! Is there a benefit over using CLOC or is this simply your „pet project“?

If you use cloc, you can count code without empty lines and comments.

I personally use cloc but there's also a list of other counters here

FYI, cloc gives a total of 67057 lines of code for kakoune (91577 line counting blanks and comments). Can you give more details on how you obtained 200k ?

If you want something simpler and use podman you can try `podc` [1] which compiles a pod yaml spec into a single executable shell script with a nice managagement CLI api to it.
