I have a fun little tool which runs the year-2000-era sloccount algorithm (which is Perl and C so I run it in WebAssembly) to estimate the time and cost of a project here: https://tools.simonwillison.net/sloccount

If you paste https://github.com/embedding-shapes/one-agent-one-browser into the "GitHub Repository" tab it estimates 4.58 person-years and $618,599 by year-2000 standards, or 5.61 years and $1,381,079 according to my very non-trustworthy 2025 estimate upgrade.

I pasted a subset of the Fil-C source code into your tool and it says 6 person years. I just pasted the compiler pass and the obvious parts of the runtime.

Note that I started the project in Nov 2023 and can only work on it maybe 1-2 hours a day because it's just a side project.

So I think your tool either estimates based on very bad programmers, or it's just wrong. Or maybe 10x programmers are real and I am him

Here's more about the COCOMO model it uses: https://dwheeler.com/sloccount/sloccount.html#cocomo
