A brilliant tool I once worked with is TetGen; it takes a hollow 3D shape and creates a volumetric, space-filling mesh of the inside using tetrahedra. Most of what is TetGen is in once giant C++ file, clocking in at 36,566 raw SLOC.

TypeScript's checker.ts is a 2.65 MB file containing 44,932 lines at the moment.
https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/main/src/compil...
Does anyone know why and how they maintain it?
Unlike the OP's file, there's a rather substantial test suite and massive corpus of TypeScript code to work with, so at the very least, you'd have some grumpy people knocking on your door if you did something that negatively impacted the greater ecosystem.
Some documentation from Orta Therox on the checker:

I had this problem until I found an editor that had outlining as it's core design paradigm. Now, with the outline always visible, it's _really_ easy to navigate any length file.
Unfortunately, at one point I got so used to navigating with the outline that I ended up making a 1500 line function in C (I was an even worse C programmer then than I am now). Because of the outline, I could read and follow it easily, but anyone with a different editor was royally screwed :-(
If you're interested, the editor is LEO (http://leoeditor.com/) it's been mentioned on HN a few times
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.
I remember sharing that Player.cs code from Celeste in the gamedev subreddit, and getting all kinds of weird novice comments about how the code doesn't adhere to 'OOP Principles' or 'there isn't any unit tests' or 'you should split it into multiple files with 100 lines each' or 'you should use an ECS to make a real game'.
Laster on Noel Berry did give a response explaining the various design choices behind their code:

Anyways, kudos to the team sharing their code even if it's a bit messy.
> What do you develop with Arc usually?
I try to use Arc for as much as possible. We wrote our TPU monitoring software in it: http://tensorfork.com/tpus
Eventually I became frustrated with Racket's FFI. So I eventually made my own arclike language called elflang: https://github.com/elflang/elf
... which itself is a fork of Lumen (https://github.com/sctb/lumen) by Scott Bell.
The performance is good enough to run a minecraft-style game engine: https://i.imgur.com/iyr0YrB.png which was satisfying.
Nowadays I've been trying to implement Bel, mostly for the challenge of it than for any practical reason.
> I like how the "html" and "css" part was embedded in that "news.arc" file. Do you think that VIM script will highlight and lint the "css" part of an "arc" file?
Nope. https://i.imgur.com/o9aUG6j.png
But it has one very important feature: it can properly highlight atstrings: https://i.imgur.com/wO4f742.png
It's probably hard to tell, but the "@(hexrep border-color*)" would normally be highlighted as if it were a string. Arc has a feature called atstrings, where you can use @foo to reference the enclosing variable "foo". It can also call functions, e.g. "The value of 1 plus 2 is @(+ 1 2)" will become "The value of 1 plus 2 is 3".

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)
