RxJS vs GPars: What are the differences?

Developers describe RxJS as "The Reactive Extensions for JavaScript". RxJS is a library for reactive programming using Observables, to make it easier to compose asynchronous or callback-based code. This project is a rewrite of Reactive-Extensions/RxJS with better performance, better modularity, better debuggable call stacks, while staying mostly backwards compatible, with some breaking changes that reduce the API surface. On the other hand, GPars is detailed as "An open-source library for high-level concurrency in Groovy". It is an open-source concurrency/parallelism library for Java and Groovy that gives you a number of high-level abstractions to write good logic.

RxJS and GPars can be primarily classified as "Concurrency Frameworks" tools.

RxJS and GPars are both open source tools. It seems that RxJS with 19.7K GitHub stars and 2.26K forks on GitHub has more adoption than GPars with 209 GitHub stars and 49 GitHub forks.
