Yeah sorry about that, was the default format in my spreadsheet software and I didn’t think to change it

Yep, I cloned the git repo and wrote a script to step through commits a week at a time and count the total em dashes in the repo at each point in time

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as GNU + Linux, is in fact, Linux

Very true

The regex is to match only em dashes in comments (following a //). If you want to search for all em dashes you can just do that (though there’s no need for the -o since grep matches lines and wc -l counts lines).

$ git clone https://github.com/y4my4my4m/harmony && grep -R "//.*—" harmony | wc -l
17

17 em dashes in comments… yeah that’s slop
