1. Lines of Code (LOC) is one thing, but Length of Lines is definitely another.  Phil points out a good example when extracting a number from a vector element.   Horizontal scrolling: Bad! 120 column green-bar: Obsolete!  Let ye who casts the first stone switch to a dynamically typed language!

2. The Memory Management Glossary is something you only reference when extending or optimizing your app with C or C++ --and you definitely don't need to memorize it!  Garbage Collection is a wonderful thing. (I wonder if the costly objects (Database connections, ...) issue in DotNet (and Java?) where one would like or need the ability for  manual override exists in Python...)
