Size of Facebook's source code


​As of 2013:

17 MLOC (17 million lines of source code) is the size of FB system's *main* source code - that is many times larger than even the Linux kernel.

44k is number of files in source code.

(D)VCS used in Facebook is Mercurial: https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-mercurial-at-facebook/
