Testing against various pieces of code

[alystair]

As a programmer I rather see tests results from of pieces of programming (JS, C++, PHP etc) instead of complete novels.

Please add some analytics where you show Workman's comparison for code bases instead of novels. Curious to see if the results differ.

Yep ... came here to suggest testing on some open source projects ... Linux Kernel, Firefox, Chromium etc.

Linux Kernel, Firefox, Chromium etc.

With most editors, you're not actually typing out those letters however - your editor/IDE is going to do a lot of lifting for you. You need to log the keystrokes you actually type. Does anyone know a good tool to do this?

I would 👍 however that some type of code is going to be more realistic than Alice in Wonderland.

On a surface it might seems taking the source code and run a typing analysis over them is a good idea, actual typing in IDE involves a lot of autocomplete and autosuggest. anyway, it is better than nothing to have such a naive benchmark.

Here is the test I create using python code of a file on the most popular repo.

After a few test on different file. workman-p is not came up at the top.
