For some reason their API would not return anything for assembly. I was curious to see where it would rank too,



I was looking at code.golf the other day and I wondered which languages were the least verbose, so I did a little data gathering. I looked at 48 different languages that had completed 79 different code challenges on code.golf. I then gathered the results for each language and challenge. If a "golfer" had more than 1 submission to a challenge, I grabbed the most recent one. I then dropped the top 5% and bottom 5% to hopefully mitigate most outliers. Then came up with an average for each language, for each challenge. I then averaged the results across each language and that is what you see here. For another perspective, I ranked each challenge then got the average ranking across all challenges. Below is the results of that. ![](https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/282e9ce6-b40d-4316-b242-577b27f10263.png) Disclaimer: This is in no way scientific. It's just for fun. If you know of a better way to sort these results please let me know.

Basically every Windows sysadmin is indebted to Mark Russinovich and SysInternals. Fortunetly, PowerToys has come a long way because I’m pretty sure sysinternals haven’t been updated since Windows XP.
