I merely related some of the text of the Ohloh article. If you read my last paragraph again, you will see that I question the LOC statistics myself. "Does pure lines-of-code count give indication to the quality of said code? Of course not." Michael,

Not only do LOC != quality, but LOC != maturity or popularity either. LOC is one of the oldest and most meaningless code statistics ever collected. About the only thing is useful for gauging is how verbose a language is. I think you’re using statistics of dubious accuracy to arrive at some incorrect conclusions.
