I can vouch for lihaoyi. He is one of the more prolific people in the scala community writing top notch stuff. The best part about most of the stuff be writes is they are extremely ergonomic, even by scala standards. Look at either scala-tags or even better his parsing library. The parsing library is actialy so good you'll feel like finding more problems to solve. Its a breeeze to get started with (even in repl). Scala-tags also is amazing and has spawned other similar projects , one of which is laminar which is currently one of the top scala-js frameworks.
In fact I can probably say this for a lot of his work, anyone learning from him would probably learn a user centric way of library design.
- lihaoyi 6y agoGlad you like them! The reason Scalatags is so good is that it is my 7th iteration of a HTML templating library: starting from using XHP at work, I had written my own templating libraries in PHP, Python, C#, F#, and 2 others in Scala before settling on the Scalatags style a few years ago that is basically unchanged today. Given how much work I’ve obsessively put into that effort over many years, the final library damn well better be good to use!
