io.js vs Mojolicious: What are the differences?
Developers describe io.js as "A friendly fork of Node.js with an open governance model". io.js is a JavaScript platform built on Chrome's V8 runtime. This project began as a fork of Joyent's Node.js and is compatible with the npm ecosystem. On the other hand, Mojolicious is detailed as "Perl real-time web framework". Back in the early days of the web, many people learned Perl because of a wonderful Perl library called CGI. It was simple enough to get started without knowing much about the language and powerful enough to keep you going, learning by doing was much fun. While most of the techniques used are outdated now, the idea behind it is not. Mojolicious is a new attempt at implementing this idea using state of the art technology.
io.js and Mojolicious belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
"Compatible with NPM" is the primary reason why developers consider io.js over the competitors, whereas "Open source" was stated as the key factor in picking Mojolicious.
Mojolicious is an open source tool with 2.12K GitHub stars and 498 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Mojolicious's open source repository on GitHub.
According to the StackShare community, Mojolicious has a broader approval, being mentioned in 9 company stacks & 3 developers stacks; compared to io.js, which is listed in 4 company stacks and 5 developer stacks.
