Via cronjobs fired off every, oh, say, minute or so? :oD

(To the humourless guvmint worker tracker type folk out there: that was a joke.)

While I'm by no means offended, I somehow find those statistics hard to
believe. Of course C and Java come before Fortran, but Lisp??? Lua, a
program extension language??? They probably didn't count the zillions of
lines of Fortran code hidden inside special-purpose machines...

Read the whole page--they seem to be looking at what is fashionable (I
mean one of their sources is _youtube_) and explicitly state that they
are NOT addressing the number of lines of extant code.

FWIW, Lisp is used in emacs, a moderately popular and somewhat
extensible editor.
