- btilly 17y agoSeriously. Studies from a wide variety of languages over several decades have found that average lines of code/developer is reasonably close to constant independent of what language the developer is using. Therefore languages and libraries that result in less code to get your work done generally result in higher productivity.
- ShardPhoenix 17y agoI'd be interested in seeing similar studies with relatively modern languages, though. The only ones I've seen have been comparing things like C, Pascal, and Cobol.
