About Flow
It's hard to build smart tools for dynamic languages like JavaScript. Flow understands your code and makes its knowledge available, enabling other smart tools to be built on top of Flow. Making major changes to large codebases can be scary. Flow helps you refactor safely, so you can focus on the changes you want to make, and stop worrying about what you might break. Working in a codebase with lots of developers can make it difficult to keep your master branch working. Flow can help prevent bad rebases. Flow can help protect your carefully designed library from misuse and misinterpretation. And Flow can help you understand the code you wrote six months ago.

Refactor your entire codebase in a few clicks and don’t miss anything when implementing large structural changes. Get straight to coding with everything you need for JavaScript development available out of the box. Be more productive and focus on more creative tasks while WebStorm takes care of all the routine work for you. Afraid of messing something up with Git and losing important changes? Or breaking something when renaming a component across your entire project? WebStorm will simplify these and other challenging tasks so you can focus on the big picture.

Elm
Elm uses type inference to detect corner cases and give friendly hints. NoRedInk switched to Elm about four years ago, and 300k+ lines later, they still have not had to scramble to fix a confusing runtime exception in production. The compiler guides you safely through your changes, ensuring confidence even through the most widereaching refactorings in unfamiliar codebases. Including your own, six months later. All Elm programs are written in the same pattern, eliminating doubt and lengthy discussions when deciding how to build new projects and making it easy to navigate old or foreign codebases. Elm has its own virtual DOM implementation, designed for simplicity and speed. All values are immutable in Elm, and the benchmarks show that this helps us generate particularly fast JavaScript code.

CodeSee
Quickly identify cross-code dependencies and navigate between files and folders. With insights to improve your understanding of the codebase and guide onboarding, planning, and reviews. Auto-generated, self-updating software architecture diagrams that sync to the codebase as your code evolves. With features to help you understand how files and folders are connected, see how a change fits into the larger architecture, and more. CodeSee Maps are automatically generated and updated every time a code change is merged, so you never have to worry about manually refreshing your Map. Using the Maps Insights panel, you can quickly visualize the most active areas of the codebase and get details on individual files and folders, including their age and how many lines of code they represent. Create visual walkthroughs of your code, using Tours to communicate ideal code paths, user flows, and more—and Tour Alerts will help you to ensure your Tours are always up to date.
