FuelPHP vs Tornado: What are the differences?

Developers describe FuelPHP as "A fast, lightweight, community driven PHP5 framework". FuelPHP is a fast, lightweight PHP 5.4 framework. In an age where frameworks are a dime a dozen, We believe that FuelPHP will stand out in the crowd. It will do this by combining all the things you love about the great frameworks out there, while getting rid of the bad. On the other hand, Tornado is detailed as "A Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed". By using non-blocking network I/O, Tornado can scale to tens of thousands of open connections, making it ideal for long polling, WebSockets, and other applications that require a long-lived connection to each user.

FuelPHP and Tornado can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

FuelPHP and Tornado are both open source tools. It seems that Tornado with 18K GitHub stars and 4.98K forks on GitHub has more adoption than FuelPHP with 284 GitHub stars and 57 GitHub forks.
