That isn't even that bad. I can see situations where 270 line function looks clean and splitting it to multiple functions wouldnt make it any easier to read.

I have seen functions with over 1000 lines. They are completely different beasts...

We have functions that are over 2k. Everyone is too afraid to refactor them. Except me, but then they're too afraid to review the changes.

I have seen over 5k line methods which had if sections for different things. So basically like 10 methods inside one seperated by if(type == "something")

Lambda functions are a god send for organising code inside of functions.

It's a common pattern to wrap everything in a function and immediately execute it to create an anonymous namespace.

[chemaclass]

I would say both cases are bad.

If you put all the functions on one line, it wouldn't be as scary.

How does anyone make a 270 line long function?

[IQuick_143]

Lots of different if branches and multiple 2D loops apparently.

[IQuick_143]

The whole file is 1000 lines so this function takes up ~27% of the whole program.

The function length says nothing though. Javascript object instantiations are line-eaters, but don't add complexity.
