Yew vs Leptos: source lines of code compared

This page compares the source lines of code (SLOC) of yewstack/yew and leptos-rs/leptos using cached OctoCounts reports. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

As of 2026-08-26, yewstack/yew contains 179,585 total lines (65,786 code) across 1,493 files, while leptos-rs/leptos contains 127,991 total lines (107,463 code) across 1,072 files as of 2026-08-26. leptos-rs/leptos is about 1.6x the size of yewstack/yew by code lines. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

Top languages in yewstack/yew: Rust (55.0% of code), JSON (37.7% of code), TOML (2.1% of code). Top languages in leptos-rs/leptos: Rust (85.6% of code), TOML (5.3% of code), JSON (4.6% of code). Rust, JSON, TOML appear in both top language lists; Sass, JavaScript appear only in yewstack/yew's top languages; Gherkin (Cucumber), CSS appear only in leptos-rs/leptos's top languages.

Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. yewstack/yew was counted at ref master (commit bfa6c19af971) on 2026-08-26; leptos-rs/leptos was counted at ref main (commit 1d19f1659eda) on 2026-08-26. See the counting methodology for ignored directories and analysis options.

Evidence and next steps:

Note: code size is not code quality. OctoCounts only reports reproducible line counts and makes no claim that either project is better.

Compare FAQ

Which has more lines of code, yewstack/yew or leptos-rs/leptos?

leptos-rs/leptos has more code: 107,463 code lines versus 65,786 for yewstack/yew, about 1.6x as much, based on cached OctoCounts reports as of 2026-08-26.

Does more source lines of code mean more complexity?

Not necessarily. SLOC measures size, not complexity, quality, or maintainability. A larger codebase can mean more features, more generated or vendored code, more verbose language idioms, or more tests — none of which imply the code is harder to work with. Use SLOC to gauge the scale of what you'd be reading or maintaining, not as a quality signal for yewstack/yew, leptos-rs/leptos, or any repository.

How is this comparison calculated?
