I'd like to make a humble request to geeks world-wide. When comparing two technologies / languages / APIs, please, please stop comparing lines of code. It has been a long, long time since compilers, linkers, and operating systems cares how many lines of code it takes to open a window. It is a dumb metric. Your language isn't better because it does the same things as mine in 70% the code.

[None of this applies, of course, to embedded developers. Some of you still operate with absurd size restrictions.]
