Comment on Show HN: CLI tool for detecting non-exact code duplication with embedding modelsparent

Comments

No. It depends the most on general code quality and architecture. Some implementations require more code similarity by design. Some languages, like Java, may tend to have more duplication, but it's only a theoretical guess. It also depends on what kind of software is developed with what language.

If you are interested in data, you can check my article. Analysis was done with this tool, but a previous version where exact-copy duplicates were excluded from analysis. https://rkochanowski.com/article/analysis-code-duplication/
