Project complexity tends to scale exponentially-ish, so I was wondering what you considered "Largest codebases"... according to Googling, Windows is 50M, Android 12M. So a couple million LoC is pretty awesome.
Static typing evangelists seem to have a blind spot: they persistently tend to assert that you can't write good and large dynamic codebases.
- kls 15y agoWindows is 50M, Android 12M IIRC in webOS a substantial portion of the user-land utilizes JavaScript, as a whole one could surmise that they constitute modular parts of an overall system. I do not know what the TLoc on webOS is, but I would assume that it would have to be in the ball park of large. I think it is as valid as the total line count of windows or android it is also the problem with looking at these things from just a TLoc perspective.
