Written in describes implementation, not user-project language support. Official quickstart installs the Clerk Next.js SDK and React components. ## Console’s review — 2023-08-31 Reviewed: 2023-08-31 Author: [David Mytton]() Citation: [This review]() ### What we like Based around React components which can be customized with CSS variables, inline CSS or Tailwind. Build custom flows with social signin, SSO, organizations, and MFA. Everything is available as an API for integration into backend code (there’s also a Go SDK). Has helpers for e2e testing using Cypress. ### Tradeoffs Backend SDKs are only available for Go, Ruby, and JS - you’ll need to use the API for everything else.
