I want to propose one answer in the form of a question, since I'm not
that familiar yet, either, with both.  Does Lantastic provide a way to
develop client-server software?  Is it possible to have for example
a database server on a Lantastic server?  Is there support for remote
procedure calls?  I think the answer is no.
