RxJS vs Scramjet: What are the differences?
What is RxJS? 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.
What is Scramjet? 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.
RxJS and Scramjet can be categorized as "Concurrency Frameworks" tools.
RxJS is an open source tool with 19.7K GitHub stars and 2.25K GitHub forks. Here's a link to RxJS's open source repository on GitHub.
