Yup. these are interesting too but... surprising.
Java and C++ have 2 billion lines of code(!), Objective C is surprisingly
low at 53M (barely ahead of Modula 2 at 33M and behind Pascal at 100M...
very odd). Scala has even less lines of code than Pascal (19M)...
Of course, we don't know whether open source projects are registered to
Ohloh with a uniform distribution with respect to communities... Who
knows? I'd say yes, as Ohloh seems to be quite popular.
I wouldn't count LoC. Scala is more terse and thus those LoC less than
Pascal shouldn't mean that is less used than Pascal.
PS I'm not surprised by the low percentage of ObjC. Most of ObjC is for
iPhone/iPad and probably most stuff there are paid projects, not FLOSS. So
probably ObjC popularity is under rated by Ohloh.
