  I’m curious about the downvotes because I thought I was just agreeing with OP. Obviously lines of code in a programming language repo is no correlate at all to quality. It’s like the old adage about measuring aircraft quality by weight.

    That’s an inverse correlate, not no correlate

      No, a PL could have millions of lines of code and still not be very good. Consider any enterprise language that no one likes :)

  I didn't get the punchline of this, so I asked GPT-4 to explain the punchline. Actually quite amusing.

    From the context it presumably finds the maximum of an array in K. Also quite a nice demonstration of why K is a bad language. For writing maintainable software at least; for code golf it's clearly amazing! (And maybe interactive calculator style usage?)
