Metrics are increasingly seen as important tools for software engineering and quantitative research, but little attention has so far been devoted to metrics for agent programming languages. This paper presents the first steps towards multi-paradigm structural metrics, which can be applied seamlessly to both agents and the object-oriented environments in which they are situated - thus enabling the designs of complete multi-agent systems to be quantitatively evaluated. Concrete paradigm-independent metrics for coupling and cohesion are proposed, and their use is demonstrated on an example Jason program, written in AgentSpeak and Java.
