# deno vs KernelSU

deno and KernelSU share 3 technologies: zip, log, and env_logger. deno is written in Rust and KernelSU in Kotlin.

- [denoland/deno](https://seerepo.com/r/denoland/deno): A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.
- [tiann/KernelSU](https://seerepo.com/r/tiann/KernelSU): A Kernel based root solution for Android

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: zip, log, env_logger
- Only in deno: React, rusqlite, SQLite, Tokio, tower, wgpu, crossterm, ed25519-dalek, hmac, keyring, argon2, hkdf, image, plist, tracing, opentelemetry, tracing-opentelemetry, tracing-subscriber
- Only in KernelSU: Jetpack Compose, androidx.navigationevent:navigationevent-compose, lifecycle-runtime-compose, lifecycle-runtime-ktx, androidx.core:core-splashscreen, com.materialkolor:material-kolor, androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended, commonmark-ext-gfm-tables, org.commonmark:commonmark, android_logger

## Side by side

| | deno | KernelSU |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 1,217,015 lines written, 1,355 code files | 63,218 lines written, 289 code files |
| Who writes it | 2.4% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Codex | 0.4% of its commits signed by AI. With GitHub Copilot |
| Activity | Last push October 29, 2026, 17,392 commits, 108,801 stars | Last push November 4, 2026, 2,705 commits, 20,138 stars |
| Tests | 4,394 test files. 6.1% of its code files have a test that imports them | 12 test files. 5.2% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- 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.
