LARGE REBOL APPLICATIONS?
=========================

I saw this comment on Carl's blog a few weeks ago ....

 > So far I have not seen any large projects implemented in Rebol.

... and got to thinking about how you'd go about measuring "large" 
in REBOL.

So I've written a small script that attempts to generate some 
metrics about the size of applications:

<http://www.rebol.org/script-information.r?script-name=application-sizer.r>

PLEASE JOIN IN THE HUNT FOR LARGE APPLICATIONS
==============================================

If you have the time, please run it against any applications you 
have, and publish the results here. It'd help show just how big 
REBOL applications can become.

The script has documentation; and that documentation has the 
results of running application-sizer.r against the CGI scripts 
that run REBOL.org:

<http://www.rebol.org/documentation.r?script=application-sizer.r>

At 43,000 code lines, I thought it counted as fairly large, but 
Graham Chiu has already posted one 50% larger:

<http://www.rebol.org/aga-display-posts.r?post=r3wp146x3030>

That surely is not the biggest we can find!

WHAT COUNTS AS LARGE ANYWAY?
============================

This is a good place too to suggest ways to produce more 
meaningful metrics.


Thanks,
Sunanda
