Maybe the OP should compare C++ written via BigDesignUpFront and 
BigBangTesting with Python written via CodeUnitTestFirst and 
RefactorMercilessly.

But maybe this swings too far in Python's favor. But the most interesting 
metric revealed would be how easy Python is to refactor compared to a 
statically typed language.
