Claim 4 (Comparing Languages)

If I have an engine that can scan and compare codebases across time and language, independent of compilation, I don't know about you, but I want to take it for a spin! What patterns will emerge as we compare repositories of Python, COBOL, and TypeScript at a massive scale?

This is my current validation and proof-of-principle dataset. I have scaled the pipeline up to analyze over 14,000 repositories encompassing 2.57 million files across 50+ languages. The engine scores them according to GitGalaxy's physical risk exposure metrics and structural DNA, and I am presenting it publicly for validation and criticism. Openness and public input are the only ways forward with a system like this.

The following ridge line plots visualize the distribution of these risk exposures and other metrics across the language ecosystem. I currently have the security measures set to be highly sensitive, meaning normal (but risky) coding practices are being listed as security warnings. The sensitivity of these detections can be tuned down for a less annoying daily workflow, and then cranked back to --paranoid for your final sanity check before pushing a release live.
