JUniversal vs RIBs: What are the differences?

What is JUniversal? A new, Java-based approach to cross-platform mobile apps (used by Google Inbox and Google Spreadsheets). The vision of JUniversal came from some guys at Nokia who possess considerable expertise both in Java and in building cross-platform apps. They built this tool to provide an elegant way to translate source code and make it useful across multiple platforms. JUniversal offers you the freedom to write your shared code in Java and then translate it to C# (available now) or to C++/Objective C++ (coming soon). You can also combine JUniversal with Google’s j2objc translator to translate Java to Objective-C for iOS.

What is RIBs? Build cross-platform apps that have similar architecture, enabling iOS and Android teams to cross-review business logic code (by Uber). RIBs is the cross-platform architecture framework behind many mobile apps at Uber. The name RIBs is short for Router, Interactor and Builder, which are core components of this architecture. This framework is designed for mobile apps with a large number of engineers and nested states.

JUniversal and RIBs can be categorized as "Cross-Platform Mobile Development" tools.

JUniversal and RIBs are both open source tools. It seems that RIBs with 4.76K GitHub stars and 477 forks on GitHub has more adoption than JUniversal with 132 GitHub stars and 22 GitHub forks.
