Revel vs Yesod: What are the differences?
Revel: A high productivity, full-stack web framework for the Go language. Revel makes it easy to build web applications using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern by relying on conventions that require a certain structure in your application. In return, it is very light on configuration and enables an extremely fast development cycle; Yesod: A RESTful Haskell web framework built on WAI. Yesod believes in the philosophy of making the compiler your ally, not your enemy. We use the type system to enforce as much as possible, from generating proper links, to avoiding XSS attacks, to dealing with character encoding issues. In general, if your code compiles, it works. And instead of declaring types everywhere you let the compiler figure them out for you with type inference.
Revel and Yesod belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
"Go" is the primary reason why developers consider Revel over the competitors, whereas "Haskell" was stated as the key factor in picking Yesod.
Revel and Yesod are both open source tools. It seems that Revel with 11.2K GitHub stars and 1.33K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Yesod with 2.11K GitHub stars and 329 GitHub forks.
FP Complete, DoxIQ, and SimplyRETS are some of the popular companies that use Yesod, whereas Revel is used by RetargetApp, Alibre, and Jackpot Rising. Yesod has a broader approval, being mentioned in 5 company stacks & 5 developers stacks; compared to Revel, which is listed in 3 company stacks and 4 developer stacks.
