High compared to what?

It's just the output of

    wc -l `find microcosm/ -name *.go`

so is really just a rough indication of the size of the project.

Compared to the amount of work that needs to be done for this project to function.

In that case, I don't know a number that can be used for that comparison. 18k is the total number of lines in the source code files; the SLOC will be different.

In hindsight, I should've left this number out. It was intended to give background to the overall program size, but it's a small detail that shouldn't be the focus of this discussion.

Well, Go has been touted for lower lines of code.
