Dancer vs Zend Framework: What are the differences?

Developers describe Dancer as "Simple but powerful web application framework for Perl". Dancer is a free and open source micro web application framework written in Perl. On the other hand, Zend Framework is detailed as "An open source, object-oriented web application framework implemented in PHP 5". Zend Framework 2 is an open source framework for developing web applications and services using PHP 5.3+. Zend Framework 2 uses 100% object-oriented code and utilises most of the new features of PHP 5.3, namely namespaces, late static binding, lambda functions and closures.

Dancer and Zend Framework can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

Dancer and Zend Framework are both open source tools. Zend Framework with 5.71K GitHub stars and 2.87K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Dancer with 446 GitHub stars and 264 GitHub forks.
