mnemonik: Peter Norvig, Lisp As An Alternative To Java: http://norvig.com/java-lisp.htmlPeter Norvig compares Java, C/C++, and Lisp between 38 programmers and himself. All were asked to write the same program, record how many hours it took, how many SLOC, and then Norvig analyzes the results.EDIT:Norvig also links to a couple other "studies" and anecdotes done by others:+ Tcl, Python, Perl, and Rexx: http://wwwipd.ira.uka.de/~prechelt/Biblio/jccpprtTR.pdf+ More Lisp/Java: http://www.flownet.com/gat/papers/lisp-java.pdf
