y-cruncher is the state of the art but it is also not written in a language like julia, and doubtlessly occupies many more lines of code

Y-cruncher is closed source, there’s no way to know the number of lines of code it uses compared to Julia.

That is true, but isn’t it then more useful to provide an open source method of computation at these ranges?
