What about a more recent code base, this is from a 2008 presentation on Adobe Lightroom 2: - "63% of the main Lightroom-team authored code is Lua" - "16% C++" - "12% ObjC" - "9% C" http://www.troygaul.com/LrExposedC4.html _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
