What does “expressiveness” via LOC per commit measure in practice?(redmonk.com)

I started with a hypothesis that LOC/commit might be an interesting way to compare the productivity of languages, and I frankly had no clue whether it would produce anything useful or interpretable at all. When it did, I figured it was cool

I quickly mentioned it in the caveats section up top. The underlying justification/assumption is that commits are generally used to add a single conceptual piece regardless of which language it’s programmed in. As for why this metric and no

That's certainly a possibility in some cases and communities (perhaps at a sub-language level or for very niche languages), but I find it rather unlikely on a global level considering the trends across many languages and language classes th

No, it's a combined total across all ~7.5 million open-source projects in Ohloh, so (potentially real) effects like that are averaged out.

Right, I did restrict languages to a popular subset defined in another post: http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2013/02/28/language-rankings-1-13...

Yeah, I agree — I really doubt it's that large of a shift, as I mentioned under "Specific language effects." I find it hard to believe that JavaScript could really be less expressive than C and assembly.

Even without the contrast (impossible given this particular dataset since the survey wasn't given to a control), it's still interesting. Here's why -- when you consider the broader context of the outlash against beer/alcohol at conferences,

Maybe you do didn't notice, but it wasn't our survey, and we had nothing to do with its design. I agree that the design is not great, but c'mon, this is just for fun. When you can select multiple answers, the percentages no longer total 100
