Debian vs Vapor: What are the differences?
Debian: The Universal Operating System. Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel or the FreeBSD kernel. Linux is a piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide. FreeBSD is an operating system including a kernel and other software; Vapor: A type-safe web framework for Swift. Vapor is the first true web framework for Swift. It provides a beautifully expressive foundation for your app without tying you to any single server implementation.
Debian and Vapor are primarily classified as "Operating Systems" and "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools respectively.
"Massively supported " is the primary reason why developers consider Debian over the competitors, whereas "Fast" was stated as the key factor in picking Vapor.
Vapor is an open source tool with 16.8K GitHub stars and 997 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Vapor's open source repository on GitHub.
