Clarification on the Graph's Purpose and Utility

[ramsey-coding]

I recently stumbled upon this repository and found the idea of leveraging graphs for code analysis to be quite engaging.

However, as I explored the repository, I am curious to know:

• What is the fundamental aim behind constructing this graph?
• In what practical scenarios can this graph be employed?
• How might a developer benefit from the insights derived from this graph? Could it aid in code optimization, debugging, or perhaps facilitating collaboration among developers by providing a clearer view of code dependencies and structures?
• Are there any specific tasks or challenges in code development that this graph is particularly well-suited to address?
• How does this graph integrate with existing development tools or workflows, if at all?

I'm keen on understanding how this graph could be useful in practical setting. I believe that understanding how this can be applied to practical applications, and recognizing the benefits of this graph, could significantly enhance appreciation and comprehension of this project within the developer community.

Looking forward to your response.
