While exploring http://www.ibm.com/ibm100/us/en/
I dug in to
http://www.ibm.com/ibm100/us/en/icons/linux/breakthroughs/
and saw that the latest version of the Linux kernel is
approximately 13 million lines of code across 33 thousand files.
If we assume that the LOC count is *really* 'file lines' and
not the industry standard of 'non-commentary lines', does
anyone have a rough estimate of how that compares to CP?
Not that the comparison is fair, since the roots of C go
back to 1969 and it is intended to be a 'portable' language.
CP started out in 360 Assembler but I imagine it has gone
through several variants of PL{whatever}
Still, it would be an interesting comparison.
