Think there would be another metric that would be better? E.g. a readability score for the code, one that could be composed of analyzing the cyclomatic complexity ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity ) and other factors that affect how easy/hard it is to read and understand it? Or would most such attempts be deemed to fail because of how abstract code is and how hard to evaluate automatically it can be?
