For sheer power of expression per line of code I think APL wins hands down !
I, personally, would not write anything over 200 lines in APL because of the
complexity involved.  I guess the point is, LINES OF CODE PER DAY DOES NOT
MEASURE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF A PROGRAMMER, OR HOW APPROPRIATE A LANGUAGE IS FOR
DOING A PARTICULAR JOB.

Use the right tool for the job !
