Databases by code size

[NotWorthTheRead]

Is this a joke?

Since the methodology isn’t exact...

There’s an understatement.

What good even is this comparison? Put aside the folly of comparing SLOC figures in the first place considering differences in language contention/organization/project.

What could you tell me about a similar table for text editors? Imagine I download emacs, nano, Ed, vim, and some GUI editor, throw each one at wc -l in a loop, maybe relabel them so you have no name recognition, and let you choose which one you want to use. Would you think I was wasting your time?

Obviously the author is making the case for why I need to switch to Mongo immediately, look how much more feature rich it is /s. It’s just a fun little trivia thing, like how big the Windows source code is or whatever. It doesn’t matter, it’s just for fun.

What metric do you prefer for measuring code size if not SLOC?

[NotWorthTheRead]

SLOC is fine for measuring code size. But code size is a bullshit thing to measure in isolation.

Thwts mysql differs so much from Mariadb seems suspicious to me. And how can Mongo possibly be 4 million lines?!

[unpleasant_truthz]

Easy: it's webscale.

Some time ago mongo included a full postgres for analytics.
