# superset vs tornado

superset and tornado share 4 technologies: bcrypt, jinja2, markupsafe, and markdown. Both are written in Python.

- [apache/superset](https://seerepo.com/r/apache/superset): Apache Superset is a Data Visualization and Data Exploration Platform
- [tornadoweb/tornado](https://seerepo.com/r/tornadoweb/tornado): Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed.

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
