gui VS tokei

libbitcoin isn't a company. It's an alternative C++ implementation (https://github.com/libbitcoin) to the Bitcoin Core (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin) implementation. Bitcoin Core is the one originally from Satoshi. Libbitcoin came in like 2011 or so iirc and was led by Amir Taaki. Libbitcoin is a lot less popular than Bitcoin Core, as you can see on the github stats.

The code is open-source: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/

That would make Eve online, Second Life, and other games illegal since people trade their digital assets all the time

>Comparing Bitcoin to free software seems similarly disingenuous.

Bitcoin is free software. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

Yes a government can. Bitcoin specifically is open source: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin. The ledger is public so as you pointed out there wouldn't be more details.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree - 66.3k stars

Different implementations(core, knots,btcd,bcoin,libbitcoin, ....) have different ways of coming to consensus. The most popular implementation called core https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin follows these guidelines https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

You can read every line of code right here on GitHub.

Also, read the source code It's on-line, for free https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

Why is the source code a single file? No real code project that I've ever seen is built on 1 file. Take a look at BTC for example, that's what a real code project looks like.

So If we would only count code and not comments, it is only 9489 LoC Rust. Which would be about 0.03% and if we take all lines and not only LoC it would be around 0.05%

thirdly: found this (https://github.com/XAMPPRocky/tokei) and wanted to analyze languages used on my system, didn't see a package manager (apt) for it that I had. So i installed cargo via apt-get rustup. Added the bin folder to $PATH via PATH=$PATH:~/.cargo/bin. But did not make it permanent. And stupidly rand tokei on "/", realizing how long and unhelpful that would be killed it. Then ran it in a dump folder with some very nested repo dumps, and tons of wolfram.nb files. After killing that too, and attempting to kill via system monitor. Still have two of those as zombie processes.

tokei

For what it's worth, tokei seems to be named after tokei.

BTW, for more info on how it is done, you can check out tokei which is the library use by onefetch for code statistics.

With pytokei you can count code quickly using all the power from tokei, but from python.

Tokei is a nice utility to count lines and stats of code. It is very fast, accurate, and has a nice output. It supports over 150 languages and can output in JSON, YAML, CBOR, and human-readable tables.
