		sametmax on May 11, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Pyre: Fast Type Checking for Python Define large. I've built video streaming websites with a users account, uploads, votes, comments, many filters and hundred of thousand files, holding half a million user a day in Python. The server cost is around a fifth of the generated revenues. Most projects will never even reach this size, not to mention remotely approaching google size (from 2010).

Large as in lines of code and number of authors. Not how many people it serves - why would that matter?

Something like 10k lines of code or three authors seems to be about the limit where dynamic typing becomes really painful.
