JUniversal vs RubyMotion: 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 RubyMotion? Write cross-platform native apps in Ruby. RubyMotion lets you quickly develop cross-platform native apps for iOS, Android and OS X, all using your favorite editor and the awesome Ruby language you know and love.

JUniversal and RubyMotion can be primarily classified as "Cross-Platform Mobile Development" tools.

JUniversal is an open source tool with 132 GitHub stars and 22 GitHub forks. Here's a link to JUniversal's open source repository on GitHub.
