Agree, generally. But LOC depends on the language. 13k lines in Clojure can make almost anything.

- hermitcrab 4y agoGood luck writing an app with a complex GUI in 13k lines of anything.
- 1letterunixname 4y agoDefine a "GUI" - web, native, or non-native Define "complex" - is that 38 elements, 130, 510, or 927? Do modals count? Define a "line" - JS can be minified, Elm is terse. Do you count libraries? The problem is you're speaking in such vague, ambiguous generalities that you're also falling into the trap of focusing on having "impressive" lengths rather than the nuances of making things in the real world.
- hermitcrab 4y agoCould you write Blender in 13k lines of Clojure? I doubt it.
- 1letterunixname 4y agoDepends on the libraries involved. Do you write anything in assembly?
- dvfjsdhgfv 4y agoBack in the days of Delphi, that was trivial. The description of the GUI itself was kept separate (I believe in binary files?) and you basically only used code for interaction/changes. A lot of quite complex apps were written in it before Microsoft and their own stupid decisions basically killed them off.
