For more performance, ask claude to compile the script with bun TO BYTECODE.

Size is getting bigger. Almost 60MB on me.

@erayack Yeah, it grows by maybe a megabyte. And ofc the bun wrapper. But that doesn’t matter for performance.

Update: Added git status, disable with --skip-pr-status.
Also, session time.

Great idea, I quickly vibed up a Rust version here. https://github.com/khoi/cc-statusline-rs with cost added as well

Get this error:
error: failed to parse lock file at: /Users/erayack/cc-statusline-rs/Cargo.lock

Caused by:
lock file version 4 was found, but this version of Cargo does not understand this lock file, perhaps Cargo needs to be updated?

The Rust and zig versions are feature equivalent.

📊 Performance Results

• 🥇 Zig: 33.7ms (2.38x faster)
• 🥈 Rust: 34.6ms (2.31x faster)
• 🥉 Bun: 80.2ms (baseline)

💾 Binary Sizes

• Zig: 196KB
• Rust: 428KB
• Bun: 56MB (!!)

📝 Lines of Code

• Rust: 381 LOC (most concise)
• Zig: 413 LOC
• JavaScript: 448 LOC

🔥 Key Takeaways

• Native languages are 2.3x faster than Bun
• Zig produces 285x smaller binaries than Bun
• Rust wins on code conciseness
• Both Zig & Rust deliver sub-35ms performance

Here is Common Lisp implementation:

https://gist.github.com/dotemacs/f3389b8a4cd5c98bd243354eca5246d3

Slightly more concise at 277 LOC.

Not sure how fast it runs as I’m not in from of a 💻 but on a📱…

@steipete you don't account for context used by anything other than the messages, right? (like MCP tools, system prompt, system tools and memory files)

I do, the calculator gets me reliable close to 100%
I just don’t use claude code anymore, it’s all codex these days. Way better. Actually gets things right on the first try.

Maybe something has changed since then. It's often ~20% off.

Gotcha, thanks for the script and the response though!
