If I sound a little too harsh, it's just, this is the only topic you've posted about in the past 2 months, and you keep bringing it up...
But I think you are confusing amount of coding with amount of typing. When you are coding, you spend much more time thinking than you do typing, so I think measuring lines of code is a really bad way to measure how much "coding" you are doing. Sure, if you switch to a language with better design and higher-level abstraction, that usually leads to shorter programs ... There's a reason people switched from assembler to FORTRAN, for instance. But we have decades of knowledge built up for how to write readable, testable, bug-free code, and that often -- I would dare say, usually -- means making the text of our code *longer* than it strictly needs to be.
