I have wondered about that for a while and finally got to count Moodle lines of code. The short answer is: Moodle has about 600k lines of code. This is excluding all 3-rd party libraries and counting only "real" code (no blanks and no comments). More details here: http://jmuras.com/blog/2013/number-of-lines-of-code-in-moodle-2-6 .

According to some very rough COCOMO calculations it would cost over $20 million to develop it now...

I'm not a developer, but my uni uses a famous ERP, and some of its code requires 80 column width. Now how old could that code be? I was an i/o clerk in the 70's. I traded punch cards for bar print paper.

Moodle, you are wonderful!
