It's been a while but here's a new graph I'm testing. Getting the complexity for every function in then assigning that complexity for all lines in that function. This gives an "average complexity per source code line".

Then plot this score for curl over time.

The idea now being to push it down hard.

Source code line complexity. A plot that sits around 40-50 for about 23 years but then slightly starts to fall and is at ~25 nearing mid-2025.
