Depends. 3k is pretty much enough for a fully-featured XY.

So no context, and differences of the definition of "large".

Perhaps if you come from Java, then yeah.

I'd still call 3kLOC quite small in all mainstream languages.

I worked on a Python project which I'd consider as medium sized, ie not small but not large, and it was around 25kLOC.

My $dayjob is a Delphi codebase with roughly 500kLOC, which I'd say is large but not huge.

Though if you wrote it in something like K[1], then yeah ok, I'd agree 3kLOC probably counts as large.

I have spent my career working on software that measures its size in MLOC (millions of lines of code). Not because it's Java, but because it's big.
