I don't know which field you're talking about, but in general, math and cs journals do not have page limits.

By the way, one of my favorite pastimes is to download the latex source for papers on arxiv and read all the commented-out stuff.

ACL conference papers usually cap the main body at 8 pages, with unlimited appendices. KDD has a hard limit of 9 pages plus 3 for references and appendices.

A lot of physics journals do. Anything ending in "Letters" (e.g. Applied Physics Letters, Physical Review Letters".

Science has a word limit per article.

Nature doesn't have a hard limit, but if it exceeds 6-8 pages, it needs to be exceptional.

cryptography, for example, which is essentially math + cs together
