Cocoa (OS X) vs Fat-Free: What are the differences?

Developers describe Cocoa (OS X) as "The Cocoa frameworks consist of libraries, APIs, and runtimes that form the development layer for all of OS X". Much of Cocoa is implemented in Objective-C, an object-oriented language that is compiled to run at incredible speed, yet employs a truly dynamic runtime making it uniquely flexible. Because Objective-C is a superset of C, it is easy to mix C and even C++ into your Cocoa applications. On the other hand, Fat-Free is detailed as "PHP micro-framework designed to help you build dynamic and robust Web applications - fast". Fat-Free Framework makes it easy to build entire Web sites in a jiffy. With the same power and brevity as modern Javascript toolkits and libraries, F3 helps you write better-looking and more reliable PHP programs.

Cocoa (OS X) and Fat-Free belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.

"Great community " is the top reason why over 2 developers like Cocoa (OS X), while over 5 developers mention "Open source" as the leading cause for choosing Fat-Free.

Fat-Free is an open source tool with 2.3K GitHub stars and 443 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Fat-Free's open source repository on GitHub.
