LOC
I counted loc(lines of code) of some open-source repositories, just for fun!
Here is how it works.
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust- First, clone the repository that I want.
- The
--depthoption prevents downloading the history. It saves a lot of time and space.
tokei rust- I used the awesome tokei crate to count the lines. It's astonishingly fast.
- This command will print the output.
rm -r rust- Clean the disk.
Table of Contents
Rust
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust;tokei rust;rm -r rust;
Rust is the best programming language ever existed. All its source code is on Github. It includes the compiler, std, and documentation. It doesn't include LLVM.

The language is perfectly self-hosted, containing 1.77 million lines of Rust code. It has tons of markdown and html files, for documentation. It also has a few lines of C/C++ code, which are for low-level language features I guess.
Linux Kernel

The table is huge. It's even bigger than Linux and Flutter. Javascript and Typescript are the main languages of this repo. It uses JSON for config files. I guess shell scripts are for cross platform installations. It even has Rust, Go and Coffeescript. What are those for?
Go
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/golang/go;tokei go;rm -r go;
Though I'm not a gopher, I wanted something that's similar to Rust: a language that's relatively new, self-hosted and has big community support.
