Node.js vs Rocket: What are the differences?

Developers describe Node.js as "A platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications". Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. On the other hand, Rocket is detailed as "Web Framework for Rust". Rocket is a web framework for Rust that makes it simple to write fast web applications without sacrificing flexibility or type safety. All with minimal code.

Node.js and Rocket belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.

"Npm" is the top reason why over 1321 developers like Node.js, while over 2 developers mention "Uses all the rust features extensively" as the leading cause for choosing Rocket.

Node.js and Rocket are both open source tools. It seems that Node.js with 35.5K GitHub stars and 7.78K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Rocket with 7.42K GitHub stars and 500 GitHub forks.
