We haven't done "lines of code" estimates for Sage in a while, so I'm not sure. Of course, lines of code being large isn't necessarily something to be proud of (though there's some meaning in lines of code that have come and gone overall). I'm very dubious about your lines-of-code estimates above. For example, you claim "Maxima alone has 700K lines", but I just downloaded Maxima from http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/, then ran sloccount on the src directory and I get 129,584 lines of code: /tmp/maxima-5.34.1$ sloccount src ... Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 129,584
