[ In case you don't know: since the late 90s, I have been teaching a course
dubbed software dev every so often. Students choose their favorite language, I
choose the project, they program, I program in Racket and in DrRacket (and
strictly). Over the semester the students code-walk their

-A- I demanded that students deliver their functionality via Unix shell
scripts, and so I did so too. My tcsh scripts check the argument number and
pass the arguments on to Racket. Firing up one of my clients or servers takes
several seconds.
I had a request for line counts:
-- my own project used ~5,000loc, which includes comments and blank lines
-- of these, ~3,200 lines are 'real' code and some ~1,800 lines of
rackunit code
-- the Java projects run at about 2x to 3x the line count (the best project
comes in at
Two points worth noting:
1. Robby pointed out that I forgot to compile my code when I ran the script.
That was a critical omission on my side and it eliminates point -A- from my
list of negative observations.
2. I forgot to mention the most amazing aspect of my final test run with the
