RxJS vs Protoactor: 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, Protoactor is detailed as "Next generation Actor Model framework". It is a Next generation Actor Model framework. It introduces "Actor Standard Protocol", a predefined contract of base primitives which can be consumed by different language implementations. This is a game changer in the field of actor systems, you are now free to pick and choose languages for your different actor based microservices in a way never seen before.

RxJS and Protoactor 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.
