Well, I did a git clone to fetch the LibreOffice source. It appears to
be a mixture of Java, C, and C++. Just some stats:
$find . -name '*.c' | wc
108 108 3908
~/source-oem/libreoffice-core$find . -name '*.cpp' | wc
26 26 1360
~/source-oem/libreoffice-core$find . -name '*.java' | wc
3329 3329 206921
~/source-oem/libreoffice-core$find . -name '*.cxx' | wc
9562 9562 405662
And, for "fun", I ran: for i in c cpp cxx java;do echo "$i";wc $(find
. -name "*.${i}");done |& tee mckown
to get the number of lines of code in each of those.
c == 45,322 lines
cpp == 4,600 lines
cxx == 5,162,525
java == 616,578 lines
So C++ "wins" by about a 3:1 ratio of number of files and 10:1 ratio
in terms of lines of code over Java.
