Going from Turbo Pascal (what my High School taught) to Delphi was just like going from Basic to VB. Of course I have never actually made anything useful with it; the graphic libraries were fun to play with though.

So they zipped up the code and took that as the size of the dataset? I’m not sure that is an accurate reflection of code size. Do they count libraries? This blogger obviously takes them into consideration, but I don’t see the same concern in the source material.
Also, they seem to take programs from a wide variety of programmers. I see issue with this. I recall not long ago one of our programmers tried to load a static 2MB array of 0’s into a boot prom when all he needed was one variable loaded with 32 bytes of 0. Such efforts can throw statistics all over the place.
The author seems to mix and match. GCC isn’t a language but it’s on the chart. CSHARP isn’t a compiler but it’s there too.

I use Visual Studio a lot, but still like the grep from CodeWright a lot more than from Visual Studio. Visual Studio seems to miss things for no apparent reason. I do like that find in Visual Studio has a keyboard shortcut and can do multiple specific folders but it still fails compared to CodeWright grep a lot of the time. Especially when searching through binaries and such.
