Ah, 2k-line files makes me miss my days of coding in Go.


It's a lot easier to glance through a single 2k line file than it would be to go through 200 separate 100 line files (+ extra overhead for imports in each file)


Join me. Still crushing it.


2k lines is a whole widely used and feature filled open source library in many languages.


Yes, but often density is at odds with readability.


As someone who has coded in languages of different density, I disagree.

It's very easy to lose context and the big picture when you're scrolling around code written in a non dense language.

(I'm talking the difference between say... Java and F#. I can't say much for the more extreme differences like COBOL and APL)
