The number of lines is not important but the quality of them.
I think that it will be a good idea if people can see not only the program but
also the process of programming.

I know that it is possible to tell the computer undo and redo commands  but this
is limited and if I leave a program and go back to it then it is impossible
to tell it undo.

I think that it should not be a problem (unless the program is very large and
the programmer did a lot of changes so the computer cannot remember everything).
I think that if the target is to help beginners then an option of looking at the
process of programming can be productive.

Unfortunately I do not know about a way to save the process of programming.
