Sloc Cloc and Code (scc) by boyter
Sloc, Cloc and Code: scc is a very fast accurate code counter with complexity calculations and COCOMO estimates written in pure Go
About Sloc Cloc and Code (scc)
From the project's README at github.com/boyter/scc. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
A tool similar to cloc, sloccount and tokei. For counting the lines of code, blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code in many programming languages.
Goal is to be the fastest code counter possible, but also perform COCOMO calculation like sloccount, LOCOMO estimation for LLM-based development costs, estimate code complexity similar to cyclomatic complexity calculators and produce unique lines of code or DRYness metrics. In short one tool to rule them all.
