# flow vs next.js

flow and next.js share 3 technologies: React, Tokio, and tracing. flow is written in Rust and next.js in JavaScript.

- [meta/flow](https://seerepo.com/r/meta/flow): Adds static typing to JavaScript to improve developer productivity and code quality.
- [vercel/next.js](https://seerepo.com/r/vercel/next.js): The React Framework

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: React, Tokio, tracing
- Only in flow: log, ora
- Only in next.js: Express, concurrent-queue, scheduler, Next.js, react-server-dom-webpack, styled-jsx, emotion, Tailwind CSS, PostCSS, geist, MUI, react-virtualized, Framer, Headless UI, @heroicons/react, Lucide, Cheerio, js-yaml, image, sharp, prop-types, Ajv, tracing-subscriber, OpenTelemetry, pino, class-variance-authority, next-themes, tailwind-merge, Radix UI, cmdk, prompts, Sass

## Side by side

| | flow | next.js |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 1,067,786 lines written, 1,098 code files | 2,391,614 lines written, 5,697 code files |
| Who writes it | 0% of its commits signed by AI | 0.8% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Devin |
| Activity | Last push November 5, 2026, 22,732 commits, 22,307 stars | Last push November 4, 2026, 36,392 commits, 143,262 stars |
| Tests | 8,664 test files. 19.1% of its code files have a test that imports them | 18,587 test files. 6.5% 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.
