This page compares the source lines of code (SLOC) of uber-go/zap and sirupsen/logrus 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, uber-go/zap contains 25,419 total lines (16,537 code) across 151 files, while sirupsen/logrus contains 9,510 total lines (6,587 code) across 56 files as of 2026-08-26. uber-go/zap is about 2.5x the size of sirupsen/logrus 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 uber-go/zap: Go (99.4% of code), Makefile (0.3% of code), YAML (0.2% of code). Top languages in sirupsen/logrus: Go (99.9% of code), YAML (0.1% of code), Markdown (0.0% of code). Go, YAML, Markdown appear in both top language lists; Makefile, Shell appear only in uber-go/zap's top languages.
Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. uber-go/zap was counted at ref master (commit bbd4ecbd8760) on 2026-08-26; sirupsen/logrus was counted at ref master (commit 6d6a132bc033) 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.
uber-go/zap has more code: 16,537 code lines versus 6,587 for sirupsen/logrus, about 2.5x 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 uber-go/zap, sirupsen/logrus, or any repository.
