No idea, but id imagine my paradigm is a good place to stat; In that
measuring denisity of "level 1 programming" (see my paradigm at
www.icok.net/~jk/trilvl.html for definition) would be much eaiser than
measuring programming of the other levels, but also that might be a
place to start??


One of the big things would be the numerous ways arrays can be made use of.
and other data structures for this matter.


Oh i know!, check with the people that study formal methods and program
correctness. Im sure that woudl be prerequisite to this




just my guesswork really i have no clue.
