Akka vs Scramjet: What are the differences?
Developers describe Akka as "Build powerful concurrent & distributed applications more easily". Akka is a toolkit and runtime for building highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications on the JVM. On the other hand, Scramjet is detailed as "Fast, simple, free and open source functional reactive programming framework". Scramjet is a fast, simple, free and open source functional reactive stream programming framework written on top of node.js streams with multi-threadding support. The code is written by chaining functions that transform data easily with ES7 async/await syntax. It is built upon the logic behind three well known javascript array operations: map, filter and reduce. Scramjet transforms are so standard and natural that we're sure you can start writing your code straight away.
Akka and Scramjet can be primarily classified as "Concurrency Frameworks" tools.
Akka is an open source tool with 10.8K GitHub stars and 3.24K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Akka's open source repository on GitHub.
