Ask HN: What are the “best” codebases that you've encountered?
For canonical C code, without a doubt I would say Redis and Postgres. Redis is written and annotated in a way that even someone with a cursory knowledge of C can understand what&#x27;s going on.<p>For Python, I really like how SQLAlchemy is written and designed.<p>For Rust, ripgrep stands out as a sterling example of how to write a powerful low-level utility like that.
