git clone https://github.com/Prithvirajbilla/helloworld && wc -l helloworld/* | sort

At least "sort -n", but yeah.

This is top five:

     20 helloworld/delphi.pas
     25 helloworld/omgrofl.omgrofl
     30 helloworld/whitespace
     59 helloworld/shakespeare.shakespeare
     65 helloworld/chef.chef

My wc right-aligned the line counts, and it looks like yours does too - so no -n required.

With and without "-n" produced different results for me.

Interesting. Seems this is a recent GNUism, where -b (strip leading blanks) is implied although not stated so in the manpage. I see this in "sort (GNU coreutils) 8.13" but not in "sort (GNU coreutils) 5.93" or BSD sort.

What's the output? (For people like me who don't have access to a git client right now)

Probably chef.

The best (esoteric) programming language.

     30 helloworld/whitespace
     59 helloworld/shakespeare.shakespeare
     65 helloworld/chef.chef
     25 helloworld/omgrofl.omgrofl
     20 helloworld/delphi.pas
     22 helloworld/x86.asm

Copy pasted some of the biggest ones.
