You conveniently snipped the rest of my post, which postulates a far
better metric that's no harder to apply in practice. :)
You can't compress by visually looking at the code, and LOC is a unit that
people fairly intuitively understand.
All it takes is for you to run zip instead of wc -l, and you have a far
better metric for measuring language expressiveness. Insisting on using
LOC despite this just makes one lose one's credibility.
LOC ain't that far off, if you use it with some common sense rather than literal
dogma.
