Modernizr vs Scala.js: What are the differences?

What is Modernizr? Respond to your user’s browser features. It’s a collection of superfast tests or detects as we like to call them which run as your web page loads, then you can use the results to tailor the experience to the user. It tells you what HTML, CSS and JavaScript features the user’s browser has to offer.

What is Scala.js? *The Scala to JavaScript compiler *. It is a safer way to build robust front-end web applications. With it, typos and type-errors are immediately caught and shown to you in your editor, without even needing to compile your code. Refactor any field or method with ease, with the confidence that if you mess it up the editor will tell you immediately.

Modernizr and Scala.js belong to "JavaScript Compilers" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Modernizr are:

  • Easy to deliver tiered experiences
  • Make use of the latest and greatest features in browsers
  • Without leaving less fortunate users high and dry.

On the other hand, Scala.js provides the following key features:

  • Strong typing
  • optimizes your Scala code into highly efficient JavaScript
  • use any JavaScript library right from your Scala.js code

Modernizr and Scala.js are both open source tools. It seems that Modernizr with 23.8K GitHub stars and 3.04K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Scala.js with 3.71K GitHub stars and 325 GitHub forks.

OneWire, GlobeBetting, and Actimore are some of the popular companies that use Modernizr, whereas Scala.js is used by MentorMyself, Seventh Sense, and TheDocking.Space. Modernizr has a broader approval, being mentioned in 28 company stacks & 11 developers stacks; compared to Scala.js, which is listed in 6 company stacks and 4 developer stacks.

React
Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.
AngularJS
AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.
