Interpreting and presenting code based on historical sentiments and interactions

Techniques for cognitive interpretation of source code are provided. Metadata associated with a section of code in a software project is analyzed to determine a change history of the section of code. A plurality of discussions related to the section of code is evaluated, where each of the plurality of discussions occurred during a code review process. Further, a plurality of support records related to the section of code is analyzed. A sentiment score for the section of code is determined based on the associated metadata, the evaluation of the plurality of discussions, and the analysis of the plurality of support records. Additionally, a display color for the section of code is selected based on the sentiment score. Finally, generation of a graphical user interface (GUI) is facilitated, where the GUI displays the first display color in association with the first section of code.
