- Rumor has it that programmers are more productive when they use
- Smalltalk compared to using C++. However, so far I havent's seen
- any metrics which support or negate this claim, other than
- those published by Mark Lorenz in his book on OO metrics.
-
- I'm looking for _hard data_ on programmer productivity for major
- OOPLs, i.e. Smalltalk, C++ and Eiffel. All hints and references
- are welcome.
-
- Thanks.
