I used to write things like that, but now that the Project Browser shows us the number of script lines and nested behaviors I haven't needed much else.

I used to run stats on things back when I was porting large projects from other xTalks, but those days are long gone, and I haven't needed stats in most day-to-day work.

My old stats collection included a tool for measuring Cyclomatic Complexity, re-weighting McCabe's classic algo in ways that provide a better assessment that takes xTalk's unique language characteristics into account.

At some point I'll roll project metrics into the Projects pane in devolution, but truth be told I have a note about that right in the very place I'll be adding it, and no one's asked about it.

What metrics are you looking for? And what sort of overview would be most helpful? Maybe I can get motivated to fold those in....
