As promised in the Ada popularity thread, I have taken one of the
Charles examples and reimplemented it in C++.  I used only the
standard C++ language and libraries.  The Ada/CHARLES main program
body is 118 (non-blank) lines of code, plus an additional 40 lines of
instantiations in eight other specification files, for a total of 158
lines and 9 files.  The C++ implementation is 76 (non-blank) lines of
code in a single file.  For grins, I also wrote the program in Perl. 
That took 14 lines.

Summary:

Ada/Charles 158 lines, 9 files
C++         76 lines
Perl        14 lines
