Paying doctors by procedure is like paying programers by line of code. If this were the case, there'd be tons of Java programers and few enlightened souls would bother with Perl.

Heh. If that were the case, we'd still program in assembly, and RISC architectures would have taken over CPUs.

    Only internally. The public ISA is usually CISC. But the internal RISC-ness is why most RISC architectures died out. Once it happened, you got many of the benefits of both RISC and CISC.

This entire thing just could be the most crazy @#$%^&* thing I've ever heard.

It's far worse than that. It is more like paying programmers for every bug they write a line of code to address. You can bet that every fix for an existing bug would create at least two new bugs. They would call such bugs "side effects" and give you six page handouts and convince everyone that "side effects" are just a necessary evil and less worse than just living with the bugs being fixed by the buggy lines of code introducing the "side effects."
