- mpweiher 11y agoThe work was done in Objective-C and took around 5KLOC (including editing). I could do in a couple of months what would take more like a year on other platforms [1]. You can download the source code. TBL got permission from his manager to do WWW as a side project. For NCSA Mosaic, it took a team of 5 a year to produce 100KLOC of C. In other words, it would not have been possible as a side project, and thus we would not have the WWW.
