yes at a constant programming language.

but they are not comparable.

and remind you that most of EIFFEL programs include contracts that cost LOC 
but that reduce in a huge way the count of bug, that improve in a huge way 
the documentation of the developed systems, and that reduce in a huge way the 
debugging time. And what to say about auto documentation by comments.

do what you want with the language you want!
but remember the poor accuracy of such a concept as LOC and the relativity of 
many conviction.
