Re: Source lines of code (SLOC) -- meaningful number?

A line of code in Perl is much more powerful than a line of code in any other language I know. Since it's more powerful, it also generally takes a little longer to write, and not as many total lines of code are needed.

Short version - SLOC is pointless when comparing Perl to other programming languages. SLOC is probably not even that useful when comparing Perl code written by different programmers.

See my reply to [id://hv] above: by your argument, you write less lines in Perl, but each one takes longer. Does that mean that the total line taken per line if the same?	[reply]
