Ask HN: Is there a technical writeup on the implementation of Hacker News?

Ironically, this is a description of hacker news itself. https://github.com/shawwn/arc/blob/arc3.1/news.arc
It’s important to realize that this is good design. It’s hard to separate yourself from the time you live in, but the rewards are worthwhile.
The complexity that lives in the GUI

Fair! I think we just have different perspectives. HN is enormously complex (it has far more complexity than most people realize or truly appreciate), yet it handles every case without any state machine: https://github.com/shawwn/arc/blob/arc3.1/news.arc
And it's nothing but a long list of functions that use closures.

In Pascal that is really common, since the files are the modules. You publish your library as one file, and the user can import it by the file name.
I ran wc on FreePascal to search for some. There are a few, but not as many as I expected.
9k file, data structures for the compiler itself: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/blob/main/./c...
30k file: Pascal parser/scope resolver: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/blob/main/pac...
And the record:
119k file, Sharepoint API (but it seems to be autogenerated): https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/blob/main/pac...
As far as libraries go, this is one of my favorites:
23k file, regular expression library: https://github.com/BeRo1985/flre/blob/master/src/FLRE.pas
I searched my own files and found a 197k file to parse HTML entities. But that was an autogenerated trie (one switch/case for each letter)
