MEAN vs OpenFL: What are the differences?

What is MEAN? A Simple, Scalable and Easy starting point for full stack javascript web development. MEAN (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node) is a boilerplate that provides a nice starting point for MongoDB, Node.js, Express, and AngularJS based applications. It is designed to give you a quick and organized way to start developing MEAN based web apps with useful modules like Mongoose and Passport pre-bundled and configured.

What is OpenFL? *Build games and applications for almost every platform imaginable *. It enables creative expression for the desktop, mobile and web. Enterprise applications and best-selling games are made with it, publishing native, Flash and HTML5 applications using one seamless toolset.

MEAN and OpenFL can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

MEAN and OpenFL are both open source tools. It seems that MEAN with 11.8K GitHub stars and 3.58K forks on GitHub has more adoption than OpenFL with 1.41K GitHub stars and 330 GitHub forks.
