Comparing LOC in Python, Java, and C++: A Quick Experiment

🚀 Quick Experiment: Comparing Lines of Code Across Languages I recently did a small personal experiment to compare how many lines of code (LOC) are typically required to implement the same task in Python, Java, and C++. 📌 Assumption: Each new statement appears on its own line — no one-liners or compressed logic. Here are the results: 🐍 Python: 11 LOC ☕ Java: 36 LOC 💻 C++: 44 LOC Key Takeaways Python is very concise for implementing tasks. Java requires more structure and verbosity. C++ is the most verbose among the three. 💡 Note: This experiment considers Lines of Code only, not execution speed or efficiency. I’d love to hear your thoughts: Do you value code compactness over verbosity for readability and maintenance?

I think this compactness becomes less of a factor as the product scales. Most products in the wild aren't 11, 36 or 44 LOC.
