I think that there is a lot speaking against sloc.
First it's often (ab?)used for "Ha! My language x is better than

Don't know about a web server, but I remember somewhere online I found
this really cool 3-line quicksort that you can do in Haskell :-)
qsort [] = []
qsort (x:xs) = qsort (filter (< x) xs) ++ [x]
++ qsort (filter (>= x) xs)
This is one of the worst PR functional programming has ever gotten, and
one of the worst things FP has done to the larger community. Somebody
should do hard time for this. And yes, for that matter it's a great
example in which SLOCs are not a very good measure.
