UglifyJS vs Highland.js: What are the differences?

What is UglifyJS? JavaScript parser / mangler / compressor / beautifier library for NodeJS. This package implements a general-purpose JavaScript parser/compressor/beautifier toolkit. It is developed on NodeJS, but it should work on any JavaScript platform supporting the CommonJS module system (and if your platform of choice doesn’t support CommonJS, you can easily implement it, or discard the exports.* lines from UglifyJS sources).

What is Highland.js? The high-level streams library for Node.js and the browser. It manages synchronous and asynchronous code easily, using nothing more than standard JavaScript and Node-like Streams. You may be familiar with Promises, EventEmitters and callbacks, but moving between them is far from seamless.

UglifyJS and Highland.js can be categorized as "Javascript Utilities & Libraries" tools.

UglifyJS and Highland.js are both open source tools. UglifyJS with 8.13K GitHub stars and 764 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Highland.js with 3.21K GitHub stars and 158 GitHub forks.
