OT: Ultimate Language Syntax Cleanness Comparison

[Gerrit Holl]

Hi,

This is it: the Ultimate Language Syntax Cleanness Comparison!

Python 5th, Ruby 10th, Perl 17th...

22:18:57:5:gerrit at stopcontact:/usr/share/vim/vim61/syntax$ for l in abc ada basic cobol c eiffel fortran haskell java javascript lisp pascal perl pike php python ruby scheme; do wc -l "$l.vim"; done | sort -n | nl
     1       64 abc.vim
     2       88 javascript.vim
     3      146 haskell.vim
     4      155 pike.vim
     5      156 python.vim
     6      174 basic.vim
     7      177 cobol.vim
     8      189 scheme.vim
     9      196 eiffel.vim
    10      218 ruby.vim
    11      287 ada.vim
    12      316 c.vim
    13      331 java.vim
    14      357 pascal.vim
    15      412 php.vim
    16      497 lisp.vim
    17      509 fortran.vim
    18      541 perl.vim

Or maybe even better:
