And, having been writing the info docs for OpenCOBOL, I can't say I disagree with Texinfo's position in the list.

Rebol: 1 in 666.667

Is any more proof needed that the language is evil?

I also note that O'Caml, Scheme, Haskell, Smalltalk and a few other languages I've evangelized appear to have fairly low ratios.

Nifty.

Lua: 154, one of the lowest on the list. Lua is a very neat and pretty language.

CodeMonkey2000; a relatively useless indicator for scientific purposes.

Inform ... doesn't say that it might be part of the fiction. For Lua, who knows, the comments may start with "this is good @#$%" Smile

Hmm, perl has a shockingly high number of occurances.

Perhaps I should learn Ada? I didn't see anything that beat 1:7000 Razz
