Cocoa (OS X) vs Redwood: What are the differences?

Cocoa (OS X): 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; Redwood: An integrated, full-stack, JavaScript web framework for the JAMstack. It is an opinionated, full-stack, serverless web application framework that will allow you to build and deploy JAMstack applications with ease. Imagine a React frontend, statically delivered by CDN, that talks via GraphQL to your backend running on AWS Lambdas around the world, all deployable with just a git push—that's Redwood.

Cocoa (OS X) and Redwood can be categorized as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

Redwood is an open source tool with 2.69K GitHub stars and 75 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Redwood's open source repository on GitHub.
