Cocoa (OS X) vs Bolts: What are the differences?
Developers describe Cocoa (OS X) as "The Cocoa frameworks consist of libraries, APIs, and runtimes that form the development layer for all of OS X". Much of Cocoa is implemented in Objective-C, an object-oriented language that is compiled to run at incredible speed, yet employs a truly dynamic runtime making it uniquely flexible. Because Objective-C is a superset of C, it is easy to mix C and even C++ into your Cocoa applications. On the other hand, Bolts is detailed as "A collection of low-level libraries". It is a collection of low-level libraries designed to make developing mobile apps easier.
Cocoa (OS X) and Bolts belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
Bolts is an open source tool with 3.78K GitHub stars and 519 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Bolts's open source repository on GitHub.
