I see this huge C++ file and I raise you a Java file that's so enormous github refuses to render it: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/...

Someone call a priest

This is past a priest. It looks more like a job for John Constantine

For a second I thought we'd entered the realm of the truly cursed, known as "Multiple Inheritance".

Then I saw the subtle 'implements', which brought immediate repose to my soul.

omg, this is primo java trolling. at least, I think you're being sarcastic...

Maybe. I like to cast a broad net =)

There’s one of those for C++ too, say hello to the .NET garbage collector: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/src/coreclr/gc/g...

TypeScript has the same; the whole type checker is in one massive file with 46,393 lines: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/main/src/compil...

IIRC they cited performance reasons when compiling the compiler for the decision not to split the file up, but I could be wrong on this.

And xdisp.c in Emacs: https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/src/xdisp....
