Might be interesting to have a graph of post macro-expansion C and Rust code numbers too.

I suspect having a culture of using derive macros for many common tasks also helps keep the line count low in Rust.

C macros expand to a single line, so you'd need to filter through a formatter first. You might also want to trim dead derive code from Rust as well…lots of tedious error handling going on there when I've looked (e.g., `Deserialize`).
