SCC

Sloc Cloc and Code or simply SCC (aka Succinct Code Counter) is a tool similar to those before it 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 and to estimate code complexity similar to cyclomatic complexity calculators. In short one tool to rule them all.

Why?

Why use scc?

1. It is very fast and gets faster the more
2. CPU you throw at it
3. Accurate
4. Works very well across multiple platforms without slowdown (Windows, Linux, macOS)
5. Large language support
6. Can ignore duplicate files
7. Has complexity estimations
8. You need to tell the difference between Coq and Verilog in the same directory
9. cloc yaml output support so potentially a drop in replacement for some users
10. Can identify or ignore minified files
11. Able to identify many #! (shebang) files ADVANCED!
12. Can ignore large files by lines or bytes

Example: Meza

Meza is a complex and powerful software system worth approximately $2.7 million dollars

(average salary = $116,393/year, overhead = 2.40).
