Has it any remarkable features other than "it's written in Rust"?

100x faster sounds like a remarkable feature to me.

(I haven't tried this yet, though I do use tokei, which is faster but not this fast. Been meaning to try it out.)

> that is 100+ times faster

is that not enough?

Depends on how slow cloc is. 100x faster than "already very fast" is not going to be a perceptible benefit.

The readme talks about dragonfly BSD's codebase; almost two minutes for cloc, just over one second for loc. That's a noticeable difference.

This is totally true as well.

lol.

I too get tired of seeing all this "take X and write it in rust".

OTOH it's a new area and the younger crowd gets to try and make a name for themselves in something that isn't already fully established.

But seriously, I've never thought to myself "cloc is too slow" and even if I did, I'd run it overnight.

... in Rust!

Aw maaaan. No homebrew yet?
