I've seen a few proprietary code bases that are 2-3x that big, which is not
huge, but pretty substantial. I suspect that not many Julia code bases have
had time to grow much larger than that. I think that this is large enough
to be confident that nothing horrible happens when the code base gets
larger – it's just as manageable as it is in Ruby or Python. The main issue
is startup time when loading all your modules (which Jameson is working on
addressing for 0.4).
