What is the largest program written in Luna? How does Luna compare with other mainstream programming languages for complex applications such as compilers, browsers and web applications?
The standard library is 3-ish kLOCs (written entirely in Luna) and growing, the biggest use cases we've created so far were around 500 LOCs. Performance-wise, we are letting the GHC compiler infrastructure do most of the heavy lifting. As for the more complex applications, it may be tricky to create a compiler or a web browser in Luna in its current state, but we are constantly working on on improving the performance, with the goal to match Haskell's. Web applications (particularly microservices) are among our main focuses now, so that's entirely within our reach.
