Gnoga is user interface development framework that uses web technologies, but not always the internet, or even a network, for rendering a GUI, it happens to also be useful for web applications and even websites.

The others are web site frameworks that use web technologies to also make web apps.

Gnoga overlaps with other frameworks in the area of "comet" web apps. The closest framework to Gnoga is Xojo and then wtWidgets for C++.

When I am ready to start my campaign to push Gnoga to the non-Ada world I'll make sure to have clear examples of the differences.

The best ways to understand Gnoga is that it is like programming Gtk, but your GUI could be rendering on your desktop or someone else's desktop, tablet or phone.
