Plato: Adding source analysis and visualizer about tern

[marijnh]

Plato seems to do its own analysis, so I'm not sure how integration with Tern would help it. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but its main functionality seems to be to put some magic number ('complexity', 'maintainability') on files based on some nebulous heuristics. Especially the 'estimated number of bugs' thing is entertaining. But I'm not convinced that it's actually useful.

So, no, nothing stops you from binding a key in your editor of choice to running Plato and popping up the output, but Tern integration seems undesirable.

Feel free to add comments on this issue if you feel I missed some important aspect.

Agreed, plato doesn't seem relevant to tern's goals. If you want access to the metrics it uses, those can be retrieved better via complexity-report

@jsoverson You're right. Sorry, I didn't know about tern's integrated code analysis engine.
Well that makes the overall package complete 👍
