Twisted vs Yesod: What are the differences?

Developers describe Twisted as "Event-driven networking engine written in Python". Twisted is an event-driven networking engine written in Python and licensed under the open source ​MIT license. Twisted runs on Python 2 and an ever growing subset also works with Python 3. Twisted also supports many common network protocols, including SMTP, POP3, IMAP, SSHv2, and DNS. On the other hand, Yesod is detailed as "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.

Twisted and Yesod can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

"Easy-to-understand concurrency" is the top reason why over 4 developers like Twisted, while over 5 developers mention "Haskell" as the leading cause for choosing Yesod.

Twisted and Yesod are both open source tools. Twisted with 3.44K GitHub stars and 878 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Yesod with 2.11K GitHub stars and 329 GitHub forks.
