I was just browsing through cloc's GitHub page when I noticed that the whole script consists of just one file with a whopping ~15000 lines of code. Do they patch multiple source files together or just use a really good ide? Having just one big source file seems a little inconvenient to me.

    Seems like they have included CPAN modules inline to avoid dependencies – Håkon Hægland Apr 10 '20 at 08:02

    Seems like it was a design goal of theirs to make it as portable as possible, and concatenating all of their dependencies into a single file is definitely a way to do that. See the "Why Use cloc" section for details. – AKHolland Apr 10 '20 at 13:38

Both Håkon Hægland and AKHolland are correct. Regarding IDE, I just use vim. (Folds in vim via set foldmethod=marker simplify code navigation; each subroutine appears to me as a single line.)
