I was in the process of writing the next blog post on my initial experiments testing libraries for programming language detection, when I noticed a minor detail on environment setup. Inspired, I’m writing this post to share some details on how to “control” the hardware environment to create an …

In the previous blog post, we introduced the background, motivation, objectives, challenges, and goals of this experiment in identifying programming languages in code files. Introduction In this post, will go through the benchmarking, testing, and analysis methods that I’m employing in more detail. …

This is the beginning of a series of blog posts focusing on programming language identification in code files. Introduction This past summer, as part of work for the CodeCommons (CC) and Software Heritage (SWH) projects, I set out to run a series of tests benchmarking currently existing utilities …
