Which language required the most lines of code?

  git clone https://github.com/Prithvirajbilla/helloworld https://github.com/Prithvirajbilla/helloworld && wc -l helloworld/* | sort

    At least "sort -n", but yeah. This is top five: 20 helloworld/delphi.pas 25 helloworld/omgrofl.omgrofl 30 helloworld/whitespace 59 helloworld/shakespeare.shakespeare 65 helloworld/chef.chef

      My wc right-aligned the line counts, and it looks like yours does too - so no -n required.
      • markild 13y ago
        With and without "-n" produced different results for me.

          Interesting. Seems this is a recent GNUism, where -b (strip leading blanks) is implied although not stated so in the manpage. I see this in "sort (GNU coreutils) 8.13" but not in "sort (GNU coreutils) 5.93" or BSD sort.

    What's the output? (For people like me who don't have access to a git client right now)

      Probably chef. https://github.com/Prithvirajbilla/helloworld/blob/master/chef.chef https://github.com/Prithvirajbilla/helloworld/blob/master/ch... The best (esoteric) programming language.
