I work across several languages in the same monorepo and couldn't find a linter that scored cognitive complexity consistently across all of them. I also needed full support for Vue.js SFCs, which most linters ignore.
I wrote bonsai-lint to fix this. It's a single Rust binary that parses your code (never executes it) to calculate a unified complexity score across Go, Java, Python, PHP, JS/TS, and Vue SFCs.
It's proven especially useful when paired with AI agents. Having a strict complexity target enabled me to prompt AI agents to refactor bloated, messy functions into much cleaner, readable ones.

I'd love to hear your feedback, especially if you spot any scores that feel inaccurate.
