The open source release of XLA predates Lattner's tenure at Google by 7 months, and it definitely existed before that -- the codebase was already 66k SLOC at that point. During his tenure it went from 100k SLOC to 250k SLOC. It's now 700k SLOC. He also has, as far as I can tell, zero commits in the XLA codebase. "Of LLVM fame" would be more accurate I think.

my bad - i guess i was just saying he led that team but didnt mean to imply he originated it

you seem to have very precise knowledge of the SLOC at a point in time - just curious is there any tooling you used to do that? that can be pretty nifty to pull out on occasion

I git cloned the repo and then ran sloccount after checking out various commits (just did `git log | grep -C3 'Jan 1 [0-9:]* 2017'` or similar to find the relevant commits)
