Going to say my own https://github.com/boyter/scc/ which I have used to turn down projects of "Oh we just need to do X" It allows me to evaluate the code-base quickly and see where potential issues are, and find hidden complexity in the code. I have said no a lot due to it. The only reason it exists was because I got caught out from another project, which wasted months of my time. Otherwise IntelliJ and the JetBrains IDE's in general.

Very cool to see this here, Ben! It was fun hearing the ins and outs of your work on this in the TZ discord, and the final result is fast. Also, off-topic but as you know, I recently tried out your scc tool and am eagerly awaiting its support for Elixir templates (.eex, .heex)! You said it was a day from done a while back and would go out in the next release. What’s the release schedule like? https://github.com/boyter/scc
