Since always but it depends on what you actually take into account.
More LOC means more opportunities for error, and more resources needed to review that code and more time required for a new developer to get familiar with the code base.
That said if you have 85 LOC vs 1000 it usually means that the 85 LOC “app” used a metric ton of external dependencies which are on their own a good source for problems.
When comparing apples to apples (as in both apps use dependencies equally) I don’t see how such delta can be caused by using a different language, even using assembly would likely not cause this much inflation.
