Bigoish is a new Rust crate that allows developers to empirically test the computational complexity of their algorithms. It compares measured runtime against common complexity models to verify scaling behavior matches expectations. This tool helps identify performance bugs by asserting that functions fit expected complexity patterns like O(n log n).
Background
Algorithm complexity analysis is traditionally theoretical, but developers need practical tools to verify real-world performance scaling matches expectations. Rust's ecosystem has been growing with more specialized testing and benchmarking tools.
