Just vs Webpacker: What are the differences?

Just: A library that organizes build tasks for your JS projects. It is a build task definition library. It stands on the shoulders of two excellent and well tested libraries: undertaker and yargs. It also provides what we call "stacks" to complete the workflow of building a repository; Webpacker: Use Webpack to manage app-like JavaScript modules in Rails (by Rails). Webpacker makes it easy to use the JavaScript preprocessor and bundler Webpack to manage application-like JavaScript in Rails. It coexists with the asset pipeline, as the purpose is only to use Webpack for app-like JavaScript, not images, css, or even JavaScript Sprinkles (that all continues to live in app/assets).

Just and Webpacker can be primarily classified as "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" tools.

Just and Webpacker are both open source tools. It seems that Webpacker with 4.34K GitHub stars and 927 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Just with 1.31K GitHub stars and 44 GitHub forks.
