Using lines of code as a metric makes no sense at all. Bad programmers produce more lines of code. Does that make them more efficient?

A good programmer that writes less lines of code is more efficient than a bad programmer that writes more to do the same work, because you pay each per line of code. A library that allows both to write less lines of code will increase efficiency for everyone.
