I'm not sure that matters either.

Let's say you're talking about Java. A "bad" team will have mountains of code. A "good" team will apply Greenspun's Tenth Rule and use a lisp to compress down the mountain to the extent that "lisp" can compress it over Java.

You may protest that the lisp has angle brackets and that it's inferior to say Clojure, but the machine does not care.
