I'm thinking how well Julia scales up. I would think very well.. Doesn't have to be math code..
I think much of your (average) scientist Julia (and Fortran?) code (so far..) is small. There might, however, be much of complexity in it.. [McCabe's cyclomatic complexity maybe..? Function points..? Anything most appropriate for "math" code?] I'm just curious what would be the biggest code-base/system so far and how big. I assume Julia itself, core language and/or standard library would be the biggest one.. Excluding that then.. Lines-of-code (LOC) is not the best/fair metric - feel free to suggest something else.. It depends how you count, should you count in your libraries you (re)use, including written in other languages? I'm not saying a low number would be bad.. just curious, an estimated LOC in an alternative language would also be nice.. and/or time spent programming it.. -- Palli.
