11775 commits in about a year is... concerning.

Something is wrong with that commit count. There are a total of ~4k commits over nine years [1]. It looks like the author revived the project recently with the help of AI, but the majority of commits are from 2017-2024. Github might be counting all the branch activity from agents.

  From the description of the graph you kindly provided: Contributions per week to master, line counts have been omitted because commit count exceeds 10,000. So I am confused as to the "total of ~4k commits over nine years" determination, unless this is in reference to commits Panzerschrek has made spanning the last two years (not nine).

    I could swear it showed 4k commits for the "All" timeline. Probably a UI fluke. Wrong on both counts anyway, see author's comment! Either way, over 8-9 years that's not an abnormal pace.

  No LLMs and "agents" were involved. All code is written by hand. In past several years I have had a lot of time for developing Ü, since I have quit my day-job.

    I got that impression from the volume of english comments in the recent commits, vs russian commit messages, and the massive amount of feature branches. That's impressive dedication.

On a random day last month there where 17 commits, and commits happen daily by the same author. It’s true dedication. Browsing through them requires understanding / translating Slovenian. Translation has never been cheaper, just recently the author has switched to English. Example random day: https://github.com/Panzerschrek/U-00DC-Sprache/commits/master/?since=2026-05-27&until=2026-05-27 https://github.com/Panzerschrek/U-00DC-Sprache/commits/maste...

  This is Russian, written in Latin characters.

    Exactly. When I started development on the language, my English knowledge wasn't that great, so I preferred writing commits in Russian, but using Latin alphabet instead of Cyrillic to avoid changing keyboard layout (I hate doing this).

      The conclusion was made by Deepl auto translate based on a random commit. Perhaps due to the use of Latin characters the ai was derailed, which is entertaining to see

Sounds pretty normal if someone's working full-time on it? That's what, 50/ working day, or about a commit every 10 minutes? Nothing to worry about.

It's 11775 commits in 10 years. But in last several years I prefer committing frequently, basically each time I do a change which compiles successfully. And it's all manual changes, no LLM (vibe-coding) is involved.

  > It's 11775 commits in 10 years. My concern is not the number of years, but instead the number of commits. It implies linguistic volatility and a lack of a coherent design and/or vision. Where is the rationale which explains the voluminous number of commits?
