RxJS 4 is hosted on: https://github./Reactive-Extensions/RxJS

RxJS 5 (https://github./ReactiveX/rxjs) replaces RxJS 4 and is relatively patible with RxJS 4. README.md on gtihub says:

Reactive Extensions Library for JavaScript. This is a rewrite of Reactive-Extensions/RxJS and is intended to supersede it once this is ready.

RxJS 5 is pletely written in TypeScript and piled to both as ES6 and ES5 (as a bundle in UMD format).

There's also RxJS 6 currently in development.

Also, RxJS 4 is now called rx and npm while RxJS 5 is rxjs now. The scoped one @reactivex/rxjs is probably just an older npm package (they both e from the same repo).
