I was going to say this too, ie how much of that Jai code is run 
at compile-time, how much is uninstantiated templates that is 
just skipped over like D does, and how much is templates 
instantiated many times? Lines of code is not a good enough 
measure with those programming constructs.

I was just building the stdlib tests with LDC yesterday and they 
took so much memory on a new Linux/x64 VPS with 2GB of RAM that I 
had spun up that I couldn't even ssh in anymore. I eventually had 
to restart the VPS and add a swapfile, which I usually have but 
simply hadn't bothered with yet for this new Ubuntu 18.04 VPS. 
The stdlib tests instantiate a ton of templates.
