Cocoa Touch (iOS) vs Vert.x: What are the differences?

Developers describe Cocoa Touch (iOS) as "The Cocoa Touch collection of frameworks includes everything needed to create iOS apps". The Cocoa Touch layer contains key frameworks for building iOS apps. These frameworks define the appearance of your app. They also provide the basic app infrastructure and support for key technologies such as multitasking, touch-based input, push notifications, and many high-level system services. On the other hand, Vert.x is detailed as "A tool-kit for building reactive applications on the JVM". It is event driven and non blocking application framework. This means your app can handle a lot of concurrency using a small number of kernel threads. It lets your app scale with minimal hardware.

Cocoa Touch (iOS) and Vert.x can be categorized as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
