Hermes vs Sucrase: What are the differences?

Developers describe Hermes as "An open source and lightweight JavaScript engine". It is a JavaScript engine optimized for fast start up of React Native apps on Android. It features ahead-of-time static optimization and compact bytecode. On the other hand, Sucrase is detailed as "Super-fast alternative to Babel". Sucrase is an alternative to Babel that allows super-fast development builds. Instead of compiling a large range of JS features down to ES5, Sucrase assumes that you're targeting a modern JS runtime (e.g. Node.js 8 or latest Chrome) and focuses on compiling non-standard language extensions: JSX, TypeScript, and Flow.

Hermes and Sucrase can be primarily classified as "JavaScript Compilers" tools.

Hermes and Sucrase are both open source tools. It seems that Hermes with 4.13K GitHub stars and 112 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Sucrase with 1.9K GitHub stars and 41 GitHub forks.
