Sorry, but I think it's still ridiculous. A full fledged blog in Ruby/Sinatra (So not even the more compact rails) I built has 8k lines, and that's including several themes, the CSS and the JS. Sure, the interactive widgets is something I haven't and that will take some code, but not 92K lines (language difference notwithstanding). 100K is around the size of a very oldschool PHP blog engine I'm also involved in, but again including several themes, all the CSS and Javscript, several bundled plugins and all bundled dependencies(!). That here is just fluff. Which is okay ofc if that's what the author wanted to produce, and the blog content might still be excellent. But don't take it as a baseline for what is reasonable.
