Software Complexity Metrics meet LLMs

From my PhD days I was always obsessed with Software Complexity Metrics. Back in the day, I even developed and extended some.

I even ran some experiments during my PhD years (large-scale, at least for my size), analysing maven to find out, how and if Domain-specific Languages (DSLs) are used in the Java ecosystem.

When ChatGPT was released, I was impressed on how well it “understood” programs. And as it seemed, it knew a lot about complexity metrics also.
