The chart did indicate that 85 lines of code did take a while to write but the 1100 lines of C++ likely took longer. Many developers claim that Haskell code has fewer bugs. Program correctness counts for something. Anyway, a modern competition with Python, Swift, Java, Modern C++, Rust, etc would be interesting. Java 1.0 wasn’t even available when this paper was written.
