There's a direct relationship between LOC and how long it takes to write
something. This can be partially addressed by using a good IDE, if one
is available for the language. Most important modern languages are
actually platforms, to fully evaluate the language you have to evaluate
what libraries are available with the language, so using a library or
module is plenty valid.
