To be fair, Hans, lines of code shouldn't be a fair assessment, if it was we would all be using APL. In APL we can write an entire program in one line. Regards, Jim Langston -----Original Message----- From: Hans Boldt [mailto:boldt@ca.ibm.com] <SNIP> No, there are indeed quantitative means to compare the suitability of particular programming languages to particular tasks. To illustrate, I can send you my 200 line Python program that does the same job as a published 400 line RPG CGI program. (To keep the comparison fair, I kept the program structure the same and included the same comments.)
