>>commits are generally used to add a single conceptual piece<< 1) You just assume that each commit adds "a single conceptual piece" -- where is your justification for that assumption? 2) Using the same descriptive phrase - "a single conceptual piece" - doesn't in-itself make the things described comparable. Even if they were in some sense "a single conceptual piece" they could still be wildly different in-scale and in-complexity because of the problem-domain the project addressed not because of any intrinsic property of the language. 3) Ohloh tracks different types of repositories -- you seem to have ignored the possibility that locs/commit might have something to do with how much of a PITA it is to use the different repositories, and whether the history of language and repository popularity has meant some languages are represented more strongly on some repositories. You've presented lots and lots of interpretation -- without exploring what's varying and what's constant in your dataset.
