Disclaimer I'm already a big fan of Scala, but I agree that the tooling around scala.js is lacking and the std lib is a rather large blob to ship around, especially when compared to alternative functional languages like ocaml. However, I've been using the above mentioned laminar for my personal frontend project needs and it really is a unique approach to the 'reactive' frontend with no vdom actually using reactive streams to track what needs to be updated. The dsl is easy to read and write and i can actually read the underlying code. For me it's scaled well too large datasets generating svgs. I think it's worth the scala.js barrier to entry.
