Lies, damned lies and statistics

The next time someone criticises zynthian without offering to help, we can point them to this snapshot showing how many lines of code have been crafted by the dedicated development team and ask how many they might want to contribute. Maybe they can try to add to the 129190 blank lines in our Python code. (I like to think I wrote many of those :wink:.)

Why both Scss, Less and Css :face_with_raised_eyebrow: dependencies?

Why are there so many languages involved? Quite unusual for one project, isn’t it? Is it because of all the synthesizers and effects that carry their own baggage/history?

Not really. These stats are “damned lies”, as the title says :rofl:

We use 3 programming languages:

  • Python => Zynthian UI, Webconf (tornado)
  • C / C++ => Zyncore, Zynseq, Zynsampler, and other low level libraries
  • Shell Script Languages (mostly Bash) => System management, updating scripts, etc.

And the typical web application stack for webconf:

  • HTML templates
  • CSS / LESS / SCSS => Yes, we generate by hand from SCSS and LESS and save the resulting CSS as project files. Bad praxis.
  • Javascript

Of course, some:

  • Makefile
  • CMakefile
  • etc.

to help building the C/C++ libraies.

And we use some specific formats for config data, snapshots, etc.:

  • JSON => Snapshots, engines DB, presets cache
  • YAML => Config files for PD patches, extended SF2, etc.
  • XML => Pianoteq default config files?

And of course, our beloved LV2’s TTL files that are missing from this list!

All the rest in the list are, more or less, damned lies! :grin:

Enjoy!

I’m more interested in tracking down the culprit of those 29 uncommented “D” files.

I noticed that those who criticize usually never publish a demo. So, my opinion is that:

  1. He expects Zynthian to play for him without any interaction of the “musician”.
  2. He has time to waste looking at the codes instead of learning scales and harmony.
  3. As already happened, he criticizes, in addition to the codes, also the vocabulary of those who frequent the Forum.
    So, @Lanfranco who has published ALMOST ALL his works, can allow himself to say that those who criticize have no idea of ​​the work these people are doing. For free… Shame on those who criticize and honor to those who work. Thanks guys :heart_eyes:.
