LoC is already a poor measure, but if a good effort at solving a problem meant you ended up with 500K LoC in a static language, and you could somehow know that solving the same problem in a dynamic language would have produced just 100K, the take away there is that in that instance you probably chose the wrong tool. I don't think it says too much about static vs dynamic languages and maintaining a given size program over time.
