As nacs said but in other words, CodeMirror is syntax colored and directed code editing (emacs), while ProseMirror is wysiwyg text editing (word).

CodeMirror was started in early 2007. [1] ProseMirror is newer, announced July 7 2015 [2]. You've probably been using CodeMirror but didn't even realize it -- it's ubiquitous!

>CodeMirror is an open-source project shared under an MIT license. It is the editor used in the dev tools for both Firefox and Chrome, Light Table, Adobe Brackets, Bitbucket, and many other projects [3].
