I'm really curious, how many people collaborate on that 1.4MLOC application? I'd think you might end up with "too many cooks in the kitchen" sort of problems because of how much power the language gives everybody.
It's a sort of silly trivial example... but I've watched multiple python codebases slowly become unmaintainable because Python has no way to enforce what can be called or overridden by instances or subclasses, and the org grew beyond its ability to enforce discipline about it in code review.
I feel like Forth would offer orders of magnitude more "temptations" for somebody who just needs to get something done, but I've never seen it done at scale.
