about the cost estimate that sloccount performs to see how the team
measured up (size varied from 2 to 7 over 5 years).  When I did the
analysis (over a year ago) we had about 130k lines of Clojure that
represented about two dozen libraries and bout six services.  Including
the javascript, java, C, Ruby and other languages in our repositories,
sloccount estimated over 5x the person years we actually spent.  This
team was also responsible for the whole stack - production operations,
releases, etc.  If someone is doing research, I'd be happy to reach out
to a colleague to see if they would run the analysis again.

Is sloccount reliable for anything beyond counting the lines of code? In
the past, I've tried it over simple code bases in various languages and
it would always produce cost estimates way higher than the reality
(one-off perl things I would do over a week-end would be estimated at
something 150 days).

I confess I've never configured sloccount (actually, I have no idea
whether this is possible at all) and have always relied on the stock,
default execution. I'm genuinely interested in knowing whether sloccount
can be used as a serious cost estimator.
