I'm not sure what you'd expect a microservice with a straightforward bit of logic and a single HTTP route to actually cost in terms of lines?

I suspect the same (or greater) linecount gains could have been gotten by using a language even more pithy. How much you wanna bet the equivalent Clojure or Scala versio would be half again as many lines?

Sorry, perhaps poorly worded. Reduced by another 50%, I mean.

Clojure is quite terse, and Scala can be when you're using the right toolsets.
