Thesis topic: Quantitative comparisons between programming languages and mobile frameworks
Want to make a quantitative comparison between programming languages and mobile frameworks? Join us for your master's thesis!
Are you a final-year master’s student looking for a thesis project that blends real-world impact with cutting-edge tech?
At Framna, we are passionate about creating digital products that shape markets and make everyday life better - and we want you to be part of it.
Every year, we welcome a group of master’s students into our Stockholm studio to spend their final semester with us. You will sit alongside our developers, designers, testers, analysts, and product delivery leads, get a place to sit in our cozy office, and join our social and learning activities - from lunch-and-learns to our weekly Friday demos and AWs. It is a chance to do your thesis in a collaborative setting, surrounded by people who are happy to share what they know.
Background
The internet is full of wild claims about how much better one language or framework is than the competition - but most of it is not substantiated.
This is an opportunity for the curious to see whose favorite language, hardware platform, or framework actually has some quantitative advantage - and put some science into the computer science.
What you will do
There are plenty of open source mobile apps on GitHub that could be used as input for quantitative comparisons between languages, platforms, etc.
Measures could range from the absolute basics, like lines of code or number of classes and methods, to more theoretical but possibly more revealing ones, like cyclomatic complexity, nesting depth, coupling, cohesion, or other properties extracted from a dependency graph.
Some potential targets to investigate:
- Finding and comparing apps with source code available for both Android and iOS
- Finding long-lived Android projects where they’ve migrated from Android Views to Compose
- Diving into the source repositories for Jetpack Compose and React Native
The task would be to compare a set of languages, platforms or frameworks, determine appropriate measures, select data, and analyze it to find out if it’s possible to draw any conclusions on their respective merits.
Who you are
This thesis may suit you if you:
- Are interested in data analytics and software development
- Trust data more than hype and authorities
- Have an interest in mobile development
- Plan to start your master’s thesis project in January 2026
- Have the opportunity to work from our Stockholm studio
