I wish people'd report metrics like "40 type classes, 5000 functions, 300 instances, 20 monads, 14 functors, ..." And such instead of "lines of haskell".
I wish people'd report metrics like "transactions per second, 99.x% availability with N secs/mins p99 latency, ..." when describing how practically useful and how effective a real-world banking/transaction system is, which further proves the practicality of the programming language.
