My question is, what is a good ball-park ratio for the average efficiency in terms of lines-of-code when comparing Assembly with a relatively modern language (and framework) such as C# with .NET, assuming both are well-written?
Naturally this question of line-count efficiency between languages depends on numerous very important factors, such as level of abstraction and redundancy, but surely there can be a ball-park range for what to expect in the real world with professional programmers of similar experience levels. I was unable to find good comparisons for Assembly versus current modern languages. My underlying question is how much smaller the Apollo 11 source code would be if written in a modern language and framework.
