Random interesting factoid: the guy behind Scala.js (and lots of other awesome Scala libraries) is actually the son of the prime minister of Singapore. I discovered this when talking to some Singaporeans who were quite surprised to hear the name in the context of programming language libraries. This means that if like his father and grandfather he eventually becomes prime minister, it'll be the first to-Javascript compiler maintained by a head of state.
- nikitaga 6y agoI do find it interesting. I can't speak for Singapore's rules of succession, but I will nitpick however that Li Haoyi does not maintain the Scala.js compiler, that would be Sebastien and Tobias. He is nevertheless an exceptional, foundation-building creator in the Scala.js ecosystem, and has been at it from the start. https://github.com/com-lihaoyi https://github.com/com-lihaoyi https://github.com/lihaoyi?tab=repositories https://github.com/lihaoyi?tab=repositories https://www.lihaoyi.com/ https://www.lihaoyi.com/
- logicchains 6y agoThanks for clarifying! I assumed he was the maintainer because he's put a lot of effort into publicising it.
