Linux Kernel Swear Counts
Linux kernel swear counts is a graph of swear words in the Linux kernel. There are step changes in the total number of swear words in the kernel around every major release - presumably because of a large increase in code. Also graphed is the swear words per line which tends to 2e-5 per line i.e. 0.00002 per line. Could this be used as a new measure of software maturity?
