Some numbers: there are ~120kloc of Elisp in Emacs proper. I have nearly 500kloc of Elisp in my `.emacs.d`. Granted, some of it are reimplementations and wrappers around what is in the core, and some are plugins I downloaded, tried out and forgot to delete, but still, that's a huge amount of code. That's 136 man-years, according to sloccount: Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 499,088 Development Effort Estimate, Person-Years (Person-Months) = 136.18 (1,634.17) (Basic COCOMO model, Person-Months = 2.4 * (KSLOC**1.05)) Schedule Estimate, Years (Months) = 3.47 (41.59) (Basic COCOMO model, Months = 2.5 * (person-months**0.38)) Estimated Average Number of Developers (Effort/Schedule) = 39.29 Total Estimated Cost to Develop = $ 18,396,178 (average salary = $56,286/year, overhead = 2.40).
