Now that I think of it, if it's paid by lines of code, it perversely incentives people to minimize the lines of code, no? Does it count white space and comments? Can I minify my code before passing it to this, then unminify it?

[bryanrasmussen]

Many languages can have code written in them minimized down to a single line. I guess they must have a character count number equals a line qualifier somewhere.

But even then, still pushes people to shorten variable names and other kind of minification.

Can you just remove newlines from files? In most languages they're optional.

[earenndil]

Count semicolons then.

If it is as smart as some people here think it would probably output: "are you f#$king with me?"

Maybe it’s on recommended line formatting
