A 1000+ line function should be a syntax error.

Heck. I start to itch breaking Python modules when they cross the 1000 line barrier.

Some linters (eg ESLint) have rules you can enforce for cyclomatic complexity (which is often the problem with long functions, rather than the length itself). In the service I maintain, we enforce a cyclomatic complexity of 5, which is pretty low but it yielded good results

Doesn't a cyclomatic complexity limit of 5 basically rule out the switch statement?

[williamdclt]

Good question, I suppose it would? On the other hand we do have chunky switch statements (as it allows exhaustive type checking in Typescript), so not so sure now that I think about it, I'd have to check

You have heard of Single Page Applications, well now we need Single Function Applications ;)

That would be anything ever written in a Lisp, if I’m not mistaken :)
