Lines of code counter
Is there a way to automatically count the lines of code of a TeX document? And if yes, is there a way to include that in the document?
I would like to have something like "this document is n lines of code" somewhere in the document.

How is this meaningful? For example it doesn't matter if your input contains a paragraph of text in 10 lines of 80 characters each, or one line of 800 characters. Choosing one or the other is just personal preference, and/or how well your text editor works with long lines. The output will be identical either way.

@alephzero long lines count as one line still if there's no linebreak. I would need it for examples but it doesn't really matter in my opinion. I know similar tools exist for some programming languages so I was interested in knowing whether this existed for LaTeX too.

"long lines count as one line still if there's no linebreak" - that's what I said :) If what you really want to do is number the lines in an example so you can refer to them, use thelinenopackage (but that isn't the question you asked!)

TeX has an internal counter inputlineno which is used when printing error messages, etc.
If you include theinputlineno on the last line of your document, you should get pretty close to the number of lines in a file, though it may be off by one.
If you have multiple files in your project, you will have to add up the total number of lines yourself.
documentclass{article}
begin{document}
This is line theinputlineno
Some text
The last line is (almost!) theinputlineno
end{document}
outputs "This is line 4" and "The last line is (almost!) 8" - it didn't count the end{document} on line 9, unsurprisingly.
