9K LOC (not including comments) may not be "large" but it is quite sizeable and in a framework like Angular, probably does quite a bit.

For comparison, I work on a Backbone.js app that has the following distribution.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Language                      files          blank        comment           code
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Javascript                      282           4348           7356          27860
  CoffeeScript                    336           4953           1687          17939

Obviously Backbone.js has much less "batteries" included.

The tips in the article were good and well thought out. I appreciate the effort the author made.

What did you use to generate this LoC analysis?
