I can't think of a reference, but I to recall that bugs-per-line-of-code is nearly constant; it is not language dependent. So, unscientifically, the more work you can get done in a line of code, then the fewer bugs you'll have per amount of work done. -- Neil Cerutti -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
