This page compares the source lines of code (SLOC) of electron/electron and tauri-apps/tauri using cached OctoCounts reports. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.
As of 2026-08-31, electron/electron contains 253,997 total lines (198,375 code) across 1,230 files, while tauri-apps/tauri contains 152,916 total lines (107,919 code) across 669 files as of 2026-08-31. electron/electron is about 1.8x the size of tauri-apps/tauri by code lines. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

Top languages in electron/electron: C++ (39.3% of code), TypeScript (38.1% of code), C Header (11.5% of code). Top languages in tauri-apps/tauri: Rust (67.6% of code), JSON (15.8% of code), YAML (4.0% of code). TypeScript appears in both top language lists; C++, C Header, Objective-C++, JavaScript appear only in electron/electron's top languages; Rust, JSON, YAML, TOML appear only in tauri-apps/tauri's top languages.
Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. electron/electron was counted at ref main (commit af2dcbc7f042) on 2026-08-31; tauri-apps/tauri was counted at ref dev (commit f4feb2ba71ae) on 2026-08-31. See the counting methodology for ignored directories and analysis options.
Evidence and next steps:
Note: code size is not code quality. OctoCounts only reports reproducible line counts and makes no claim that either project is better.
electron/electron has more code: 198,375 code lines versus 107,919 for tauri-apps/tauri, about 1.8x as much, based on cached OctoCounts reports as of 2026-08-31.
Not necessarily. SLOC measures size, not complexity, quality, or maintainability. A larger codebase can mean more features, more generated or vendored code, more verbose language idioms, or more tests — none of which imply the code is harder to work with. Use SLOC to gauge the scale of what you'd be reading or maintaining, not as a quality signal for electron/electron, tauri-apps/tauri, or any repository.
