RE: Re: CGI URL

To be fair, Hans, lines of code shouldn't be a fair assessment, if it was we 
would all be using APL.  In APL we can write an entire program in one line.

No, there are indeed quantitative means to compare the suitability
of particular programming languages to particular tasks.  To
illustrate, I can send you my 200 line Python program that does the
same job as a published 400 line RPG CGI program.  (To keep the
comparison fair, I kept the program structure the same and included
the same comments.)
