Eric Hodel was so kind as to show me the output of rake stats on 43things and it revealed that it took 5,204 lines of Ruby to create the current version. That’s pretty darn amazing considering they’re not even taking full advantage of the huge array of improvements in Rails 0.9.x and that the team consists of three out of four programmers new to Ruby.

Another round of applauds to the team at The Robot Co-op for creating such an interesting application in so few lines. Kudos!
