Escher vs Vapor: What are the differences?
Developers describe Escher as "An Elm-like web framework for Julia". A web server for 2016. Escher's built-in web server allows you to create interactive UIs with very little code. It takes care of messaging between Julia and the browser under-the-hood. It can also hot-load code: you can see your UI evolve as you save your changes to it. On the other hand, Vapor is detailed as "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.
Escher and Vapor belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
Escher and Vapor are both open source tools. It seems that Vapor with 16.8K GitHub stars and 997 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Escher with 312 GitHub stars and 63 GitHub forks.
