Jacob, Thanks very much for organizing, and paying for, the dinner last night. It was a pleasure meeting you and the other guys that showed up. I enjoyed the lively conversations.
At dinner I mentioned the application that we recently rolled out, the California Instant Rebates application <http://cainstantrebates.com/> One of the guys asked about it wanting to know how many source lines of code. I didn't mention last night that this app was a ground-up rewrite of version one of the application, which was written (by others) in Java/J2EE. Here's a sloc comparison summary: Java version: 23,150 lines of java code 16,090 lines of jsp code ========================= 39,240 lines of code total (no documentation, no unit tests) Python version: 14,928 lines of python code* 3,677 lines of unit test code 6,376 lines of django templates ========================= 24,981 lines of code total *(includes plenty of doc strings) Now it's not really a fair comparison because the Python version has more features than the Java version did and it was designed by another team. The Python version is also much easier to debug because of the unit testing framework, documentation and sane design. All things considered, this app has been a huge success for me, my team and our clients. Three cheers for Python and Django!
