Fascinating work, and I agree with his conclusion, paraphased as "this
might work." "Complexity" however you choose to define it, is a good
way to estimate a project. A simple application you choose to
implement in a language you haven't worked in before will be more
complex than one you've done a dozen times before. The trick is
identifying all of the factors involved.
