NASA has written such code.

I'm reading over NASA's 10 rules for safety critical code and it's littered with the word simple and keeping things small. I don't think NASA is an example for large and complex at all.

Not to mention NASA is known for many of the the most famous software bugs in history, but I'm guessing that's just related to space exploration more than anything particularly novel/incorrect about their approach to software.
