Like someone on lobste.rs says:

Or an unrelated point: who do you believe, this data or your lying eyes? Java and Perl are not similar in their verbosity!

How in the world does Ruby have a lower DRYness than Java? This person’s code just does not work. And Java is almost as high as Kotlin? I’ve done conversion of millions of lines of Java to Kotlin. Just a direct conversion alone will save you 20% of your lines, and that’s without even bothering to switch to Kotlin code style, so that’s with Streams and massive if statements rather than pattern matching.

LaTeX only has 67% uniqueness? Huh????

This article has major problems.
