    From a security perspective cc is highly relevant. I use it to get a solid rating of the security aspects of Python code. I use [1] which is solid and proven.

      Is there research that show if and how much a low complexity improves security?

        Weird question to ask, that is pretty obvious.

        Worst things happen always when 2 or more systems are combined because each system might be simple on its own, yet a combination is always much more complex.

          I&#x27;d argue that assuming something is obvious without any empirical validation is the root of a huge number of misconceptions that humanity has historically had. There&#x27;s a reason science suddenly started moving a lot faster after we moved past Aristotle and started measuring things in experiments.
