Take some not-that-trivial projects like Zope/Plone. There are quite a

Zope is about 375 KLOC[1],
I was thinking about Zope2 + Plone, but anyway...
which I agree is not trivial, but by
today's standards, it's not all that large.
How many LOCS would it require if it was written in ADA ?
Zope also has 275 open
bugs, 6 of which are critical.
None of which are going to *kill* anyone FWIW. Now how many of these
bugs would have language-enforced access restriction prevented ?
[2] The Space Shuttle avionics (written
in the 1980's!) are 2 MLOC
of a hi-level dynamic language ? Hm, I guess not.
in which only 3 errors have been found
post-release.[3] I think "large software system" today means 100's of
MLOC.
Given the difference in LOCS count between a low-level static language
and a hi-level dynamic language for the implementation of a same given
features set, you cannot just define "large" by the # of LOCS. Not that
I'm going to compare Zope with Space shuttle's stuff.
FWIW, Zope has 20x as much code as Django--is that a good
thing!?
IMHO, definitively not - and I indeed prefer Django as far as I'm
concerned. But this is another debate (or is it not ?...)
