>Good example code base?

The majority of code running Amazon the retail site and AWS. Large swathes of Microsoft and Google online services. Most code running bank back office and many trading systems. Likely 90%+ of the line of business applications run by the Fortune 500. Most desktop GUI programs. Should I keep going?

If popularity is a valuable metric, then javascript is probably the greatest language ever invented (sigh).
