According to A Study of Wheat and Chaff in Source Code, 95% of code is chaff, or non-core functionality, whatever that means. Is this really a sensible study? Does the IT World article correctly represent the original paper? It's hard to believe 95% of the code I write is non-core. Maybe an example would help.The original paper is A Study of Wheat and Chaff in Source Code by Martin Velez, Dong Qiu, You Zhou, Earl T. Barr and Zhendong Su.
Is 95% of code really non-semantic fluff?
