Tried writing a short C program that had the equivalent of an ADT. Gave up as soon as I tried allocate some. This was an unfriendly reminder how inefficient it is to write C. Do people actually feel productive if they’re able to crank out one function—at most two—per hour?

It may be an acceptable proxy, but is that not also giving an incentive to write bad, bulky code?

The look on a C programmer’s face when you show them how to generate “lines” of code as fast as your Lisp implementation can cons garbage...

Sometimes you are forced to program with "uglier language", and you hardly have control over it.

And yet... lines of code are the baseline input being fed to every newfangled code metrics platform (incl Gitprime). I reckon there's signal in them thar hills. Dunno if productivity charts are gonna make anyone feel better about writing C tho.
