Re: GHC code size

Hi Simon, If you prefer to use the old `count_lines`, you can retrieve it like this: git show 0cd989577a8b8d2666741fcac4fd3032ae212b80^:utils/count_lines/ count_lines.pl >/tmp/count_lines.pl It appears to need a list of files. The output is quite busy (not quite like your nice summary above). For example, the output of perl /tmp/count_lines.pl $(find compiler -name '*.hs') on `master` is https://gist.github.com/steshaw/b636fb76c805bfa0fff7484f5da11ed6 Perhaps if you recall how you used `count_lines` in the past, you can make an accurate comparison!

A quick googling discovered https://githubnext.com/projects/repo-visualization, which has some of the desired features. :)

Another somewhat-related visualiation tool that can produce some pretty pictures is gource [1]. I wouldn't call the output "useful" per se, but it is mildly amusing to see the avatars frenetically flying about the source tree. It gives you a sense of just how many people are responsible for building the GHC that we know and love.

Here [2] is a rendering of ghc's history. Best to skip the first minute or so, which is largely just Will Partain setting things up. Things really start to pick up around 2012 (around the 6 minute mark); it's truly dizzying. Happily, this momentum has persisted to this day.

Cheers,
