Count lines of code? #8

Closed ericphanson closed 3 years ago

I think it would be interesting to see things like the distribution of # of LoC over packages in General, or count the total LoC in a registry. To be extra informative, we could do four counts: src, test, docs, and the whole directory (in case there are interesting files in other folders).

I've used tokei before and it's really fast and seems quite accurate, and can count Julia code, markdown, etc, and can output JSON or other structured data. So using that, we could either hold counts for common things (like Julia code / markdown / comments) in our own data structure, or just hold onto the JSON blobs in the Package and query them later on.

What do you think?

Good idea! (building a Rust package with BinaryBuilder may not be super-easy at the moment though :eyes:)

what's broken with BB rust right now? I think for tokei the easiest way might be to just use the CLI so I don't have to write rust bindings, and that might avoid linking issues if that's the problem

It doesn't work very well at the moment. You can try, but it may not work in some cases (we don't have many datapoints, but yesterday I found a broken package)
