Out of morbid curiousity, how many lines of code did the C implementation clock in at?

~20kSLOC IIRC. It's not a fair comparison since it does more, but let's face it, if these implementations did the exact same thing I doubt they'd pass the 5kSLOC mark.
I get about 1.5-2x for c vs c++. Genuinely surprised that erlang took so many lines of code.
