Cyclomatic Complexity is a software engineering metric which attempts to rate the complexity of a function. As professional software developers, we should be striving to make small and understandable blocks of code, a function which is overly complex would be difficult for a new developer to pick up or even for the original developer to remember what they were doing when they revisit it in months to come. This is a suggestion to discuss the merits of including this metric in the Drupal Coding Standards.
