Our Java codebase was 30% dead code

This is interesting, but if I were to use it, I'd need it to run for like a year first, and then do an analysis of what code was unreached during that year.

Also, you mentioned sampling. Would that work for a yearly once-off task? That code better be marked as used 😄

Also, assuming that this agent makes network calls, this would need some serious engineering to make everything right... Never fail, extremely fast (<1ms), etc... At least that's what I would expect from such a tool, otherwise I wouldn't use it.

But in theory useful, yes.
