Description
for example https://github.com/mathiasbynens/small/blob/master/scala.scala example
```scala
class m
```
have amount of information ie shannon enthropy 2.52bits
so better will be
```scala
class s
```
it has much more less information 2.13 so better
Imagine you need to compress all that files, files with less information will be better compressed, so will have a less size.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the scala.scala example linked in the issue and the repository's existing approach to measuring file size. The issue does not name implementation files, tests, or a settled metric; progress would require defining how information content should be measured and how that criterion changes the project’s results.
