The Wren language[0] uses semicolons as its size metric:
Wren is small. The VM implementation is under 4,000 semicolons. You can skim the whole thing in an afternoon. It’s small, but not dense. It is readable and lovingly-commented.

- justin_oaks 3y agoSemicolons seems an odd metric since complexity is often introduced by if-else branches, while loops, and function declarations. Each of those doesn't involve semicolons.
- genezeta 3y agoI don't know, but it might be somewhat tongue-in-cheek since Wren itself doesn't use semicolons at all.
