io.js vs Trailblazer: What are the differences?
io.js: 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; Trailblazer: A new architecture for Rails. Trailblazer is a thin layer on top of Rails. It gently enforces encapsulation, an intuitive code structure and gives you an object-oriented architecture. In a nutshell: Trailblazer makes you write logicless models that purely act as data objects, don't contain callbacks, nested attributes, validations or domain logic. It removes bulky controllers and strong_parameters by supplying additional layers to hold that code and completely replaces helpers.
io.js and Trailblazer 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 "Trailblazer allows creating sane, large apps in Rails" was stated as the key factor in picking Trailblazer.
Trailblazer is an open source tool with 2.91K GitHub stars and 129 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Trailblazer's open source repository on GitHub.
