The Benchmarks Game has some highly optimized implementations and is not a good representation of typical code. Some languages allow you to go a lot lower than others if needed, which adds verbosity, that does not mean typical code must be verbose. There are things possible in C# that you just can't do in Java, for example. That does not mean typical Java code is more concise than C#. On the contrary, typical C# would be probably considerably more "dense".
- so-cal-schemer 7mo agoGood points. There is a trade-off. Outside hotspots, readability / maintainability should take precedence.
- so-cal-schemer 7mo agoI dislike the short windows for editing / deletion. I could have just agreed and left it at that.
- igouy 7mo agoAnd yet, it may still be "a better gauge for code density".
- igouy 7mo ago> … is not a good representation of typical code. afaict that's unknown and "typical" weasel word and median.
