[Cuis] Evolution of the number of classes as a proxy of system clompexity

[nacho]

I really love Cuis. I love the idea of a simple and clean kernel,
comprehensible to a single individual and then packages if something else is
required. I agree 100% with Juan's statement that sometimes the system
becomes so complex that no further progress is possible and as a great
proportion of the system's code is unintelligible it turns into "legacy
code".
I took some time to watch the number of classes of Squeak and Pharo using
the number of classes in a base system as a proxy for system complexity.
Here are the results:
Squeak release 1.31 : 496   classes
Squeak release 2.80 : 1283 classes
Squeak release 3.00 : 1545 classes
Squeak release 3.90 : 2046 classes
Squeak release 4.40 : 2218 classes

Pharo release 1.30   : 3290 classes
Pharo release 1.40   : 2949 classes
Pharo release 2.00   : 3250 classes
Pharo release 3.00   : 3846 classes

Cuis release 4.2 is smaller than Squeak 1.31!!!

take care
Nacho
