Others on this forum can probably speak with more authority than me about Dynare as I have never used it My understanding is that in its initial stages there were versions of Dynare in c++, Gauss, and Matlab. The c++ and Gauss versions have long since become obsolete and disappeared. The extent to which c++ is exploited by the Matlab Dynare is not clear to me, but I don't think it is used a lot --- Dynare users do not oooh and aaaah over its speed.
Where Dynare aims to be an entire modeling ecosystem for estimating, solving, and simulating models with a parser that allows its users to specify their model much as they would write it on paper, SolveDSGE is a much more modest creation, focusing for now on the solution part. Solving DSGE models is the bread and butter of much applied macro so a package like SolveDSGE seemed necessary to get macro-economists to adopt Julia. Once the Dynare team decide that the Julia market is big enough I have no doubt that they will release something that wipes the floor with my little creation (which ironically aims to grow the market), but until then....
