## What it is
loc is a fast Rust-based command-line tool for counting lines of code, serving as a much faster alternative to cloc. It reports files, lines, blank lines, comments, and code per language.

## Use cases
- count lines of code in a repository
- measure codebase size by language
- fast sloc statistics for large directories
- compare comment vs code line counts
- cloc alternative that is much faster

## When to choose
- you need very fast line counting on huge codebases
- you want a simple cloc-style report from the terminal

## When to avoid
- you need the most accurate language detection - tokei or scc are recommended by the author
- you need actively developed features - the project sees little maintenance

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, cli
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: windows, rust, cli
- tags: code-counting, sloc, cloc-alternative, statistics, command-line, linux, macos
