Mojolicious vs Volt: What are the differences?

What is Mojolicious? Perl real-time web framework. Back in the early days of the web, many people learned Perl because of a wonderful Perl library called CGI. It was simple enough to get started without knowing much about the language and powerful enough to keep you going, learning by doing was much fun. While most of the techniques used are outdated now, the idea behind it is not. Mojolicious is a new attempt at implementing this idea using state of the art technology.

What is Volt? A ruby web framework where your ruby runs on both server and client. Volt is a ruby web framework where your ruby code runs on both the server and the client (via opal.) The DOM automatically update as the user interacts with the page. Page state can be stored in the URL, if the user hits a URL directly, the HTML will first be rendered on the server for faster load times and easier indexing by search engines.

Mojolicious and Volt can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

"Open source" is the primary reason why developers consider Mojolicious over the competitors, whereas "Handlebars" was stated as the key factor in picking Volt.

Mojolicious and Volt are both open source tools. It seems that Volt with 3.3K GitHub stars and 209 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Mojolicious with 2.12K GitHub stars and 498 GitHub forks.
