On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Sourcegraph is ahead of Luciq. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Sourcegraph is clearly ahead of Luciq. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Sourcegraph is clearly ahead of Luciq. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Sourcegraph is clearly ahead of Luciq.

Luciq carries 1,071 GitHub stars across 44 public repos, with 1 repositories active in the last 90 days and 0 external contributors on record. Sourcegraph shows 33,115 stars across 601 public repos, 68 active in the last 90 days and 17 external contributors.
