This page compares the source lines of code (SLOC) of sidekiq/sidekiq and resque/resque 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 2026-08-26, sidekiq/sidekiq contains 22,496 total lines (13,599 code) across 206 files, while resque/resque contains 7,098 total lines (3,800 code) across 65 files as of 2026-08-26. sidekiq/sidekiq is about 3.6x the size of resque/resque 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 sidekiq/sidekiq: Ruby (60.9% of code), YAML (19.9% of code), Ruby HTML (8.5% of code). Top languages in resque/resque: Ruby (75.5% of code), Ruby HTML (12.8% of code), Rakefile (4.9% of code). Ruby, Ruby HTML, JavaScript, CSS appear in both top language lists; YAML appears only in sidekiq/sidekiq's top languages; Rakefile appears only in resque/resque's top languages.
Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. sidekiq/sidekiq was counted at ref main (commit 1bb4aa06e5aa) on 2026-08-26; resque/resque was counted at ref master (commit bb0f097121f1) on 2026-08-26. 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.
sidekiq/sidekiq has more code: 13,599 code lines versus 3,800 for resque/resque, about 3.6x as much, based on cached OctoCounts reports as of 2026-08-26.
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 sidekiq/sidekiq, resque/resque, or any repository.
