I am currently involved in a project that is attempting to define some useful
software metrics for LISP. In imperative programming languages a simple count
of lines, as well as some notion of 'program density' are often used
as metrics. The functional programming environment seems to be a quite
different situation, and measures such as number of lines does not seem
to say very much about the actual size (complexity) of the program in
question. I am looking for information, literature or just plain
opinions on what would be good things to measure.
Thanks much,
