[Edu-sig] Lines of code and programmer time...

[Jeffrey Elkner]

Hi All,

I seem to remember hearing a few times about a study somewhere that said
that programmers produce about the same number of lines of code in a
given amount of time regardless of the language.  Does anyone know
anything about this study? (or is it a figment of my imagination? :-(

I'm putting the final touches on my master's thesis comparing Python and
C++ solutions to a set of problems, so this information would be *very*
helpful to me.

Thanks!
