A fun read indeed. I wonder about the insistence on keeping it less than 20k loc?

Is that the developer basically saying "this problem can and should be solved in less than 20k lines?"

Looks like it; the author also says he sticks to certain paradigms like an indentation style I've not seen in the wild before and making as many things as possible 'const'.

I don't mind, I can respect people having Strong Opinions, it's an improvement over having too weak opinions which lead to inconsistencies in a codebase.

I'm guilty of the const / final thing... it really does help in the language I use for work all the time, but that's because its compiler and analyzer are built around using those hints to do static analysis in my editor.
