Fair enough, but then the difference between the two languages is not linear across the development of the larger program. The largest difference in code size is displayed, but it focuses on boilerplate code being the inflating factor of Java.
- chongli 13y agoYeah, focusing on boilerplate is not all that interesting in the long term. For large applications (which both languages aspire to), it makes more sense to compare things such as static vs dynamic types, mutable vs immutable, etc. Though I guess there is some merit in having less boilerplate, as fewer lines written mean fewer lines to modify during a refactor/debug session.
