It's weird, I've heard of the author plenty of times (and frequently use https://github.com/boyter/scc), I would've thought they knew about using an empty interface to emulate a set with no overhead in Go.
Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition) | Dec 2022
Going to say my own https://github.com/boyter/scc/ which I have used to turn down projects of "Oh we just need to do X"

It allows me to evaluate the code-base quickly and see where potential issues are, and find hidden complexity in the code. I have said no a lot due to it. The only reason it exists was because I got caught out from another project, which wasted months of my time.

Otherwise IntelliJ and the JetBrains IDE's in general.

Very cool to see this here, Ben! It was fun hearing the ins and outs of your work on this in the TZ discord, and the final result is fast.

Also, off-topic but as you know, I recently tried out your scc tool and am eagerly awaiting its support for Elixir templates (.eex, .heex)! You said it was a day from done a while back and would go out in the next release. What’s the release schedule like?

I've seen some real world example where Go was as fast or faster than Rust for CPU / io intensive task.

Go is a fast language even with a GC.

scc is an insanely fast alternative to cloc: https://github.com/boyter/scc

nnn is also my go to file tree navigation / file moving tool these days too: https://github.com/jarun/nnn

You might want to look at https://github.com/boyter/scc

It's the same as cloc, but ludicrously fast.
Go 1.12 Released | Feb 2019
Perfect timing for me. I was just about to push out a new release for my code counter https://github.com/boyter/scc

It appears to be ~3-4 ms faster when counting repositories like redis which is rather nice for me as a free speed boost. Probably related to the changes to GC listed here https://golang.org/doc/go1.12#runtime
